Chapter 413: The Yuan Family's Appeal
The family waved goodbye, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang looked at Cao Ang with tears in their eyes, and kept shaking their little hands.
Cao Ang raised his hand and watched Cao Chun and the others gradually disappear into the dense shade, and no longer saw a single shadow, before slowly putting down his hand, stunned, and stood for a long time.
Mrs. Bian's words rang in his ears from time to time, his father was not desperate to go to Chang'an, but another choice. The outcome of the court and the Yuan family is unknown, and the Cao family wants to bet on both ends, and he is betting on the Yuan family.
He had thought about such a possibility before, but it was the first time he had heard someone else talk about it. Cao Ang knew that this Mrs. Bian was insightful, when his father Cao Cao fled Luoyang, he was caught in Zhongmu, Yuan Shu sent someone to send the news of the murder, the whole family panicked, and finally this Mrs. Bian stabilized the situation and found a way to escape from Luoyang. was able to take the family out of Luoyang in that chaos, and Cao Ang thought he couldn't do it in terms of this alone.
Cao Ang felt that his shoulders were heavy, and the melancholy between his eyebrows was even stronger. Half of the hope of the entire Cao family was on his shoulders, and he couldn't take it easy. He turned his horse's head and galloped towards Yongqiu. picked up Mrs. Ding, and they rushed to Xiangyi together. Cao Ying was very excited, and muttered that he must buy a few good clothes when he arrived in Xiangyi, Cao Ang hid his uneasiness and happily agreed.
After a day's journey, it was already evening when I entered Xiangyi. Cao Ang settled Mrs. Ding and Cao Ying, and rushed to the city to inspect it. Cao Ren rushed over to report the situation. The scout sent news that Sun Ce had entered Chen County, Liu Pet had also returned to Chen County, and now stationed in Yangxia was Yuan Min, the chief secretary of Chen State. Judging from the current situation, Sun Ce does not seem to have any intention of sending troops. However, the two sides are relatively close to each other, and they still cannot relax their vigilance.
Cao Ang pulled Cao Ren aside and told him what happened to Yongqiu and Chen Liu. Cao Ren had a lot of contact with Mrs. Bian, and had a good impression of her, and he thought it was quite true at the moment, and felt that what Mrs. Bian said was very reasonable. It's just that in this way, the burden on Cao Ang's shoulders is heavy, and his responsibility is also heavy. But after all, he has mixed up the rivers and lakes, and his thinking is much more open than Cao Ang, and he gave Cao Ang two ideas.
First, discuss this matter with Mrs. Ding. The Ding family is a scholar family, although the reputation is not very good, it is better than the Cao family. With Mrs. Ding, it will be more convenient for Cao Ang to recruit talents in the future; Second, go to see Yuan Tan immediately. Yuan Tan is Yuan Shao's eldest son and heir, and it is good for Cao Ang to have a good relationship with him. When Yuan Tan first arrived in Yanzhou, it was when he needed help. Cao Ang went to work at this time and had the opportunity to be reused.
After inspecting the city defense, Cao Ang returned to his residence and told Mrs. Bian's analysis to Mrs. Ding. Although he didn't mention Mrs. Bian's name, Mrs. Ding still guessed it at once. Cao Ang couldn't hide it, so he had to admit it. Mrs. Ding sneered: "She thought that their mother and son went to Chang'an, and your Aweng's inheritance was inherited by her son?" What a joke. Zixiu, you are my child and the eldest son, no matter what foundation you Aweng creates, it is yours, and it has nothing to do with their mother and son. ”
Cao Ang couldn't laugh or cry. Seeing this, Mrs. Ding didn't say much, so she turned to counsel Cao Ang. "Do you remember the Wei Xiaolian next to you? I remember him as a native of Xiangyi. ”
"Of course I remember that he had a great kindness to Ah Weng and died in Xingyang, how can I forget it. His son, Wei Gongzhen, came to see me a few days ago. ”
"Well, since you Ah Weng wants you to lead one alone, you need more helpers, how can a person make a contribution. Go and ask Wei Gongzhen to go with you to meet Yuan Tan. In addition, pay attention to what talents can be recruited, the more the merrier. Also, your eldest father went to Xuzhou for refuge, and you sent someone to look for him and find a way to pick him up. Most of the Cao family's property is in his hands, and with that money, you can raise soldiers, recruit soldiers and horses, and strengthen your strength. You are his eldest grandson, and he has always loved you, and he will support you. ”
Cao Ang nodded repeatedly.
Early the next morning, Cao Ang went to invite Wei Zhen. Wei Zhen did not refuse, readily agreed to Cao Ang's invitation, and rushed to meet Yuan Tan with Cao Ang.
——
Yuan Tan has a slender figure and a dignified appearance. He is seven or eight years older than Cao Ang, and he has a very good impression of Cao Ang. When Cao Ang arrived, he was talking to the full house of guests and personally stood up to greet him. Cao Anglian said that he didn't dare to be, and introduced Wei Zhen to Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan had never seen Wei Zhen, but he knew Wei Zi and knew that this was Cao Cao's best friend, who died in Xingyang, and he was also very respectful.
Yuan Tan introduced the guests to Cao Ang. Cao Ang agreed, and secretly envied in his heart. Most of these are celebrities in Yanzhou, it is not easy for him to see one, Yuan Tan just came to Yanzhou, these people became his guests, and the background of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family is really not to be underestimated. Zhang Miao also wanted Yuan Tan to visit him as a junior, but he was afraid that he would be disappointed. I don't know how many people in this Chen Liuzhu County are the former officials of the Yuan family, he wants to use Chen Liu to fight against Yuan Tan, how many people will support him?
Don't forget that the sour jujube is also stationed with Zhu Ling's 10,000 troops.
Also in the same mood as Cao Ang is Liu Bei. Liu Bei returned to Yanzhou with Yuan Tan, and those Yanzhou celebrities who ignored him flocked to him, and Bian Rang was also among them, and became Yuan Tan's guest of honor, which made him see the strong appeal of the Yuan family, and he couldn't help but be ashamed of himself.
Yuan Tan then asked about Zhang Miao's situation. As soon as the news of his arrival in Yanzhou spread, the counties of Yanzhou either went to each other on a blind date, or sent envoys to greet them, Chen Liu, as the largest county in Yanzhou, was the latest to come, so he naturally had to care about it. Hearing that Zhang Miao was ill, Yuan Tan immediately said that he would rush to Chenliu to visit him in person.
Zhang Mengzhuo is my father's best friend and my elder, I should not see him as a assassin, but as a junior.
As soon as Yuan Tan's words came out, he won a lot of praise. Yuan Tan then arranged for defense. Because Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, died in battle, Liu Bei took over as the prime minister of Jibei, and immediately went to his post to lead the soldiers of Jibei, Dongping, and Rencheng to fight against the Yellow Turban. The other counties should also take action and not let the yellow turbans run rampant, so as not to affect the upcoming autumn harvest. After meeting Zhang Miao, he will personally lead the army into battle.
Once again, everyone expressed their admiration in unison.
Liu Bei listened to it in his ears, and his heart was very uncomfortable. He has fought in Yanzhou for so long and defeated the Yellow Turban many times, and these Yanzhou people have not praised him. Yuan Tan hadn't fought a battle yet, just said a few empty words, and these Yanzhou people were busy sending flattery. The gap is too big. As soon as the meeting was over, he got up and left, went out, turned on his horse, and was about to leave, when Cao Ang chased after him from behind, and took the reins of his horse.
"General Liu, please stay, Ang has something to ask for."
Liu Bei hurriedly dismounted. From Yuan Tan's attitude towards Cao Ang, it can be known that the relationship between the Yuan and Cao families is good, and Cao Ang will soon be promoted, and it will be good for him to make friends with Cao Ang. "Zixiu, you don't have to be so polite. I have a relationship with Ling Zun, not a close friend, but also a like-minded friend. If you have anything, just say, as long as I can do it, I will do it. ”
Cao Ang thanked him again and again, and finally said: "Jibei is close to Mount Tai, and I would like to ask General Liu to help me keep an eye on the whereabouts of my family." If you can get in touch, please let me know immediately and I'll send someone to pick him up. ”
Liu Bei was overjoyed, patted his chest and smiled: "This little thing, why do you want to go in person." Rest assured, if you can find them, I will personally escort them and guarantee that nothing will go wrong. ”
