Chapter Ninety-One: One Hundred Warriors
"No kidding, Junhyuk."
"I'm not kidding, big brother, even if there is no Yellow Turban Army, there will be a red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple army, and this rebellion will happen sooner or later, because everyone wants to live, this court wants the people to lie on the ground and live, and everyone wants to live standing."
The two were silent for a long time, Cao Cao patted Xiang Qing on the shoulder, and Xiang Qing also calmed down his mood, in fact, they have investigated this matter for so long, and the result is already well known.
The influence of Taiping Dao in the people is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of believers in various places is increasing day by day, can't the imperial court see it? Of course they knew, but none of them was willing to stand up, the administrative institutions of the Han Dynasty had decayed and decayed layer by layer, and they just wanted to seek another benefit for themselves or for their families.
The two of them planned for a long time, and when they opened the door again, it was dark, but Cao's mansion was brightly lit, and the happy atmosphere of the wedding was filled everywhere, and Cao Cao remembered that he was about to get married.
In this era, the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, Cao Cao has never even seen his fiancΓ©e, he only knows that the surname is Ding, gentle and virtuous, beautiful and generous, probably the evaluation of all the ladies, and Cao Cao didn't feel anything.
Xiang Qing looked at Cao Cao's face and felt that Cao Cao was actually not happy, even his wife was about to marry into the door, and he didn't know what he looked like or what his personality was, could he be happy?
"Big brother, are you anxious before marriage?" Xiang Qing said jokingly.
"What is premarital anxiety?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
Xiang Qing scratched his head: "Probably, you are a little uneasy now, you don't know what the woman looks like, you don't know what life is like after marriage, this is a normal anxiety and panic, don't worry too much." β
"Oh." Cao Cao nodded and didn't say anything more.
Three days later, the wedding day has arrived, the heads of the Cao Mansion have rushed back to the Cao Mansion, Cao Song is the head of the Cao Mansion, Cao Cao is also the eldest son, although their family background carries the name of a eunuch, but they are also one of the best wealthy families in the county, and the pomp and circumstance of Cao Cao's wedding will naturally not be small.
Just when Xiang Qing really couldn't accept the wedding of this era, all kinds of rules and ceremonies were too cumbersome and annoying, and he felt very tired when he looked at the newlyweds.
Cao Cao's best man group is quite luxurious, Cao Ren Cao Hong, Xiahou Tang Xiahou Yuan, Xiang Qing Xiang Xu, and a Cao Chun, these tall and strong men stand behind them, and Cao Cao is even more domineering and heroic.
Today's protagonist is Cao Cao, Xiang Qing and Cao Ren are also willing to be green leaves, but when it is their turn to block the wine, Xiang Qing can't do it, and his amount of alcohol is really indescribable.
The two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, also prepared generous gifts, and even Xiang Qing also met a lot of famous princes and overlords in the future, and these people are now gathered in Cao Mansion.
Not only that, these people have a lot of alcohol, and they are tolerant, and the cellars in Caofu are about to be emptied, and they can't see that they are drunk.
Xiang Qing and Yuan Shao made a table and toasted each other three glasses of wine, Xiang Qing immediately slipped away and found a corner to stay to prevent anyone from finding him and toasting him.
After the night of candles in the cave room, Cao Cao's premarital anxiety disappeared without a trace, and he looked like he was full of spring every day, looking very happy.
When Xiang Qing and Cao Ren met their sister-in-law, they finally met this Mrs. Ding, Xiang Qing also roughly read the record of this Mrs. Ding in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", but the written record is not as good as what he saw with his own eyes, only after seeing it with his own eyes, Xiang Qing understood that Cao Cao's happiness was definitely not pretended.
At the strong request of Cao Song and Cao Cao, Xiang Qing stayed in Cao Mansion for the time being, and Yuan Shao was also invited by Cao Cao to stay in Cao Mansion as a guest.
The three of them mingled together every day, went out during the day, galloped on horseback, punished the traitors and eliminated the evil, and played happily with Cao Ren and them at night, this was the happiest day after Xiang Qing came to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
A few months later, Xiang Qing decided to say goodbye to Cao Song and Cao Cao, and once again embarked on a journey to travel the world, if he wanted to live in this coming troubled era, he must ensure that he had sufficient experience and knowledge.
Wang Shu in the past few months, under the guidance of Xiang Qing, the power of the Qianji Battalion has gradually grown and grown, and has faintly become the first spy force in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the news of Kyushu in the world has been continuously sent to Wang Shu's hands.
And when Xiang Qing was about to leave Cao's mansion, Cao Cao took him to an uninhabited manor, which had been deserted for a long time, and no one was seen here on weekdays.
"Big brother, what are you bringing me here for?"
Cao Cao said mysteriously: "You'll know in a while." β
Pushing open the courtyard door, Xiang Qing was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him, just behind the door, there were a hundred warriors standing neatly, and many faces were familiar to him, and after these people saw Xiang Qing, their expressions were obviously very excited.
"Loyalty! Brave and soulful! β
"Meet General Xiang!"
A hundred warriors fell to their knees, and they shouted the eight words of loyalty and courage, and courage and martial arts, which instantly reminded Xiang Qing of his days in Liangzhou.
Xiang Qing couldn't suppress the tears in the corners of his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You guys...... Aren't you already ...... How could it be ......"
Cao Cao patted Xiang Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "They didn't die in Liangzhou, they came back in good shape." β
Xiang Qing helped them up, and although he burst into tears, he still said with a smile: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!" You are all good, you are all the most heroic warriors, and you should not die in Liangzhou for no reason. β
Cao Cao looked at the warriors and said: "After you had an accident in Liangzhou, there were many soldiers who didn't know, they just received an order to evacuate Liangzhou, these hundred warriors, most of them, were heroes who followed you to attack the rebel camp at night, they thought you died in Liangzhou, and heard that I was your eldest brother, and then they rushed to Qian County to join me, hoping that I would lead them to avenge you." β
Xiang Qing wiped away his tears and said, "They are definitely the most heroic and warlike army in the world." β
Cao Cao nodded: "When I heard them shout in unison the words of loyalty and courage, and courage and soul, I felt it." β
At this time, more than a dozen people stood out in the team, not tall, a group of half-grown children, of varying ages, although they were young, but their eyes were as tough as these warriors.
"Big brother, why is there still a group of children?" Xiang Qing asked suspiciously.
Cao Cao explained: "Have you forgotten? At the beginning in Luoyang, we saved a group of beggars, and it was this group of children. β
The first person is Ah Yan, who had a conflict with the eldest princess of Yang'an, the illegitimate son of the concubine, and after a year and a half, Ah Yan's figure is obviously much stronger, with a sword at his waist and a black dress, looking like a real warrior.
Ah Yan came to Xiang Xu, bowed his head, and shouted: "Ah Yan has seen Engong, thank Engong for saving his life." β
Xiang Xu was a little at a loss for a while, he had long forgotten what had happened, and he was a little confused when he looked at Ah Yan.
"You get up first." Xiang Xu said.
"Xie Engong."
Xiang Qing smiled: "Big brother, why did you put a group of children here?" β
Cao Cao said helplessly: "Alas, when I took them to Cao's mansion, I just wanted them to do some chores and other work, and they didn't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives, but this kid didn't want to." β
"This Ah Yan?" Xiang Qing asked.
"At the beginning, these children were also stable in Cao's mansion, some followed Cao Da and Cao Er as guards, and some followed the housekeeper to learn to do miscellaneous labor, but later, after these Han soldiers came, this Ah Yan took these dozen children, clamoring to join them every day, shouting that they would fight on the battlefield in the future, horse leather shrouds and the like, I was too lazy to care, so let them train with these soldiers, I thought, they feel tired, and this matter will be forgotten."
Xiang Qing said with a smile: "How can you think, these children can not only endure hardships and suffering, but also become qualified warriors, right?" β
"That's right, I didn't expect it at all, this Ah Yan, following the wonderful talent Zixiao to learn swordsmanship in the martial arts field, and the progress is very fast, now among the hundred people, none of them can beat him, what do you think I can do with him?"
Xiang Qing said: "Then let him go, hahaha." β
Xiang Xu's character, he didn't know what to say to Ah Yan, or Xiang Qing ran over to relieve him.
Ah Yan abandoned his surname and decided to break with his past, Xiang Qing also fulfilled him, after asking him about his wishes, Xiang Qing added his surname, called Xiang Yan, as for the expression, he still has to wait until he becomes an adult, and it can be regarded as a recognition of a younger brother.
Since Xiang Qing still wants to continue to travel the world, he definitely can't take these hundred people with him, so he decided to continue to trouble Cao Cao, just stay in this manor, anyway, it will come in soon to be useful.
After saying goodbye to Cao Cao, Xiang Qing embarked on the road, and Cao Cao was secretly training his private army, and if he wanted to live in the troubled times, then only strength, only if his fist was big enough, it was possible to deter others.
A few months later, Xiang Qing stood at the foot of a mountain, this is Changshan, and Xiang Qing's purpose of coming here is also very simple, in order to find Zhao Yun, Changshan Zhao Zilong.
Whether it is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xiang Qing likes Zhao Yun very much, loyal, strong in martial arts, and courage, as if none of all the evaluations are negative.
Behind Xiang Qing, in addition to Xiang Xu, Cao Chun, Liu Hu and Wang Shu, there is one more person, that is, Ah Yan, who has just changed his surname, and now it is Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan's personality is somewhat similar to Xiang Xu, maybe it is related to his experience, and he is also a little taciturn and not good at words.
But under the influence of Cao Chun, he was also a little crooked, Cao Chun's cold personality has long been gone, and he is now the top chatter in the team.
Xiang Qing asked Wang Shu: "Is there any information about Changshan recently?" β
Wang Shu replied: "Yes, just six months ago, a group of mountain bandits came to Changshan. β
"Mountain bandits?"
