Chapter 259 Yun Chang, are you here too?
The cold wind like a bone-scraping winter blows a strong smell of blood.
Guan Ping, who came from Guanzhong for dust, finally arrived at the temporary capital of the great man under the escort of more than 500 soldiers.
The emperor was desperate and was forced to abandon Luoyang, Chang'an and come to this small town that was unknown before. At that time, the Han emperor thought that he had escaped from Li and Guo to ascend to heaven, but he never expected that he fell into a larger, deeper and more famous vortex.
Guan Ping's father had come here many times, but in 15th, Guan Ping and Guan Yu were separated many times. This was the first time in this life that he set foot in the core of the Han Dynasty.
On the way here, Guan Ping thought that Xu Du had not been in war for many years should be a peaceful and peaceful land.
But after he came here, he was surprised to find that the walls of this man's temporary capital were low, and the moat had long dried up. Even during the day, there were not many merchants coming and going.
The people who passed by were all rushing to the road with their heads down, and there was no prosperous scene in Jiangling and Xiangyang at all, which was less than that of Chang'an, which suffered from war.
Rather than saying that this is the capital, it is better to say that this is a military town managed by the Cao army. The entire city, from the imprisoned emperor to the people around, are serving the Cao army's huge war machines.
There are large areas of farmland outside and in the city. One of the few handicrafts is also a series of weapons workshops. Cao Cao planned every inch of land here well, making everyone busy and exhausted every drop of his sweat for the battle for the world.
He could smell the strong smell of blood in the air from afar. After entering the city, he led his horse and walked, casually grabbed a passing sergeant and asked him what was wrong in the city.
The soldiers guarding the city saw that Guan Ping was dressed in extraordinary clothes and said:
"The King of Wei was annoyed today and killed hundreds of people in a row."
"kill?"
"Yes, the people who had been in trouble with Geng Ji and Wei Huang, as well as Ma Teng's family and Han Sui's son, oh by the way, there is also Yang Xiu!"
"Yang Xiu?!" Guan Ping was shocked, "Why kill Yang Xiu?"
He had heard Chang Diao say early on that Yang Xiu had been making trouble and trying to target Guan Ping. He even suppressed the school affairs that Chang Diao took over, and the limelight was unmatched.
The soldier patiently explained to Guan Ping that Yang Xiu had sent fake news many times before. Later, he even intended to assassinate Cao Ren. Guan Ping nodded silently and turned his eyes to the distance.
Cao Cao's cruel methods were so crazy.
On the official road, Yang Xiu's family cried loudly. Yang Biao, who had lost his beloved son, fainted several times. The executioner either hid far away or knelt in front of Yang Biao and kowtowed and apologized, accompanied the famous scholar in the world to cry.
Yang Biao's wife Yuan tried to take away the head of her beloved son, but the executioner said that the King of Wei wanted to see, so they could only carry Yang Xiu's hair and put the bloody head into the brocade box. While apologizing to Yang Xiu's family, they quickly ran away.
Even if the King of Wei saw it, he would not return Yang Xiu's head soon. Cao Cao was extremely angry. He wanted to hang Yang Xiu's head to show his name, trampled on Yang Biao's dignity, and stepped on ten thousand feet on his face.
Zhong Yao and others were all disappointed and in pain as if they were lost. They stood with Yang Biao and his wife in the cold wind with a strong smell of blood, staring at the bodies that had no one to collect.
Guan Ping followed his gaze and quickly recognized the identities of those people.
He could feel that these bodies and heads were separated and were thrown on the ground like garbage. Ma Teng was among the corpses that everyone was afraid of being avoided.
This hero who was famous all over the world and once brought great disasters to the Han Dynasty died in humiliation and was beheaded and abandoned. If Cao Cao had not been so angry, he would have used more cruel means to serve them.
This means that Cao Cao no longer cared about Ma Chao at all. With Yunshan and Chang Diao in the northwest, Ma Chao was as insignificant as dirt and dust in Cao Cao's eyes. In the last moment of his life, he had to vent his long-suppressed tyranny in his heart.
Just as he stopped to watch the corpses, someone had already reported his identity to Zhong Yao. Zhong Yao was shocked and was about to come forward to say something to Yunshan. Yang Biao's wife Yuan had already stood up with a loud voice.
This woman from a wealthy family, who was always elegant and quiet, had a pale face with her hair and her red eyes, and her usual gentle and calm calmness had long disappeared. She rushed towards Yunshan like a hysterical one. The soldiers around her did not dare to stop the noble woman. They actually dispersed one by one and allowed her to rush to Yunshan.
"Yunshan dog thief, I'm going to give my son my life back!"
The sky was dark, and Mrs. Yang Biao's shrill scream was like a roar of a ghost. Yang Biao was stunned, then quickly stepped forward and hugged the wife from behind.
"You're crazy! You're crazy! What is this doing!"
"You are crazy! You are crazy!" The mother who just lost her son fell into madness. She opened her husband's arm hard, cried loudly, and pointed at Yunshan and cursed:
"The thief who usurped the Han Dynasty will not die easily! The thief who usurped the Han Dynasty will not die happily!"
If it weren't for Yunshan's fight, Ma Chao would now occupy the entire Guanzhong, and Cao Cao was in panic all day long. How dare he attack the Yang family at this critical moment?
But it's because of Yunshan...
He helped Cao Cao eliminate his worries and completely failed Yang Xiu's plan. Cao Cao was proud and could ascend to the position of King of Wei with the credit for regaining Yongzhou. He dared to take the opportunity to kill Yang Xiu and force Xun Yu to death. This palm hit Qingliu in the face of the court.
Mrs. Yuan ignored her past dignity and cried and asked Yunshan to pay her life. Yang Biao spent a lot of effort to finally take her away, and the old Han official's face was covered with tears.
"General Yun, Yang Biao is rude."
His elegant face was full of depressedness and solemnity. He looked at Yunshan's face seriously and said slowly:
"Is it the general who took back Yongzhou for the Han Dynasty?"
He looked at Yunshan with some expectations, hoping to get a positive answer.
"No," Yunshan bowed calmly, "Yunshan is a Han minister, and he will always be there in the past."
A hint of surprise appeared on Yang Biao's face. He never expected that Yunshan would give such a sure answer in front of him.
"So that's the case, I'm rude."
Looking at Yang Biao's sunken eyes, Guan Ping lowered his voice slightly and said softly:
"Yang Gong Gao Yi, Yunshan has always been heard of. Please take care of Yang Gong in the future!"
Yang Biao was stunned and then showed joy, but soon he was worried about gains and losses.
He now has nothing but reputation and can't even keep his own son. Even if Yunshan is still so loyal, what can Yang Biao do?
Guan Ping slowly entered the house with his head down, and bowed hard. Cao Cao happily greeted him, holding Guan Ping's hand and murmured:
"Tanzhi let Gu see what you look like!"
Guan Ping slowly raised his head, but saw that the expression on Cao Cao's face instantly frozen.
"cloud……"
The hero's body swayed greatly, and Guan Ping clearly heard a hint of surprise from his teeth.
