Chapter 31: The First Meeting of the First and Fourth Generations
"Zhongkang, pack up the softness, let's get ready to run away tonight!"
Xia Hou'an, who came back from the meeting, informed Xu Chu as soon as possible.
He kind of understood, why Cao Cao deliberately called himself, a newcomer, to a meeting, it turned out that all this was planned!
There are also Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, if they didn't have Cao Cao's instructions, would they be able to do this?
Go, must go.
If you don't leave, you will have to go to Chang'an to feed Wang Ba.
Xu Chu nodded in response, but after a little hesitation, he couldn't help but ask, "Lord, do you want to call Xu Huai and them?" ”
After getting along day and night for a period of time, Xu Chu also has a very good relationship with this group of teenagers.
Although, he never said.
Xia Hou'an shook his head very clearly about this, if he informed them, he would not be able to leave tonight.
Anyway, Cao Cao has been found.
With Cao Cao here, the teenagers can't afford to lose.
Dusk was falling, and evening was approaching soon.
Xiahou An, who had packed his bags, looked at the sky, ready to wait for the night to get completely dark, and then quietly run away with Xu Chu.
However, as soon as he poked his head out, he collided with the oncoming Cao Cao.
was caught, Xia Hou'an was stunned for a moment, and then showed an embarrassed but polite smile.
"Good evening, uncle!"
Xiahou An handed the burden to Xu Chu and said with a cheeky face.
It's like a nobody.
Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, but he didn't debunk it on the spot, but said in a calm tone: "Boyang, go out for a walk with me."
At this moment, Xia Hou'an's mind flashed through many reasons to refuse, but when he and Cao Cao looked at each other, he was a little weak for no reason, and felt that he lacked confidence.
I had to follow with me.
The uncle and nephew walked all the way along the camp, with Cao Cao in front and Xiahou An following closely behind.
Neither of them spoke.
The atmosphere was quite heavy.
Xiahou An wanted to find a topic, but he didn't know how to speak.
It wasn't until they left the barracks that the two of them each picked up a horse and galloped at full speed along the official road, when the oncoming wind blew, hit their faces, and blew into their hearts, which made the depression accumulated in their hearts reduce a lot.
The two dismounted on the banks of the Rushui River, tied their horses to one side, and the people walked along the riverbank.
The cool river breeze blows on the face, which is particularly refreshing.
After walking for a while, Boss Cao said coldly: "You want to go?" ”
"Hmm." Xia Hou'an nodded, and did not hide it.
"You don't want to go to Chang'an?"
"I just don't want to die."
There was silence for a while.
Cao Cao changed the subject: "Boyang, what do you think of today?" ”
"What can I see, stand and see!"
Xiahou An wanted to say this, but after seeing Boss Cao's serious expression, he dispelled the idea of joking, put away the hippie smile, thought about it, and still couldn't come up with an ugly person, so he said melancholy: "The kid is shallow, how can he have any foresight." ”
So Cao Cao talked about his ideals.
"The Han family is in decline, traitors steal their lives, so that the Lord is covered with dust, and the society is reduced to a ruin. As a Hanchen, I want to uphold the righteousness of the world and save the people from the mud, but the thieves are powerful and have little hope......"
Boss Cao's tone was very calm, but there was a kind of surging imminent.
Xia Houan listened silently.
"I originally wanted to pin my hopes on the joint efforts of all the soldiers and horses to work together to serve the king, but now it seems that it is also a vain ......"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao sighed.
How much hope I had for the Dong coalition at the beginning, how disappointed I am now.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Xiahou asked suddenly.
Cao Cao glanced at the young man and laughed, how can there be anyone in the world who is not afraid of death, and I am naturally afraid.
Xia Houan nodded, this is the thinking of a normal person.
However, Cao Cao's next words deeply shocked him.
"One of the moths was looking for fire, and the other animals asked, 'Why do you keep looking, when you know you're going to be burned?'
The moth said that because the light of the fire was so beautiful that I couldn't help myself.
Right now, the Han Dynasty has ignited a fire, and I, the little moth, will still pounce on it even if I will die.
At the end of this road, will there be fire?
I don't know, and I even worry about it occasionally, but I'm still going to go through it and run towards it desperately.
Because...... I am Hanchen, reviving the Han Dynasty, it is my mission in this life, even if I do my best, I will not regret it until death! ”
Standing on the bank of the Luoshui River, Cao Cao looked down at the familiar faces reflected on the water, looked indifferent, and said in a fatalistic tone, then turned his head, looked at the little nephew beside him, and showed a little smile: "Of course, if after my death, I can engrave the 'tomb of Cao Mengde, the general of Zhengxi', on the tombstone, then I will really die without regrets in this life." ”
Xiahou An actually wanted to tell him that the dragon slaying boy would one day grow dragon scales.
But he held back.
Because the little man in front of him who was squatting by the river and washing his face with cold water was really handsome at this time.
Perhaps, this is Boss Cao's personal charm!
"I want to know, there are so many people, why did you choose me alone?"
Xiahou An looked at Cao Cao, waiting for his answer.
Cao Cao stood up, looked at Xiahou An, and replied without thinking: "Because you are the most suitable." ”
"Why?"
Xiahou An lowered his eyebrows slightly, but it was not a simple word suitable to send it away.
Cao Cao said slowly.
"Those young people in Qianxian County have a good family background, and their nature is even more unruly, but they just obey your words, and your methods can be seen, one of them;
In Jiwu County, you helped the local people to exterminate the bandits in Dahuang Mountain, and killed the son of the county guard in Chenliu County, you are not afraid of power and have a righteous mind. In this way, it can be entrusted with big things, and this is the second one;
In the end, in the coalition camp, it only took you a few days to get those generals and county guards to remember you. Even Yuan Shu, whose eyes are above the top, praises you.
I believe that this interpersonal and social skills can also be like a fish in water in Chang'an.
This is also the third! ”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at the little nephew beside him intently.
If you don't say it, I didn't know I was so good......
Boss Cao touted it like this, and Xiahou An's heart was still a little cool.
"How many people can I take with me to Chang'an?"
Xiahouan asked, which was also one of his main concerns.
Cao Cao's answer was that the fewer people, the better.
Because there are many people, it is easy to attract Dong Zhuojun's attention, and it will also increase the risk.
That's true, but when you think about it, the chances of survival after exposure will also plummet.
"After I go to Chang'an, all the eyeliner you have planted there must obey my orders and dispatches with full authority."
This is Xiahou'an's condition, he is not afraid of God opponents, but he is afraid of pig teammates.
Otherwise, it's not negotiable.
Cao Cao nodded in agreement, this is natural.
For some reason, he subconsciously believed in the young man in front of him.
