Chapter 411: Melancholy Cao Ang
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
As soon as the sky was bright, Cao Ang and Cao Chun left Xiangyi and galloped along the official road to Chen Liu.
Large patches of indigo spread out on both sides of the road, green and lush, and purple stems mixed in the middle, mixed in with some confusion. Cao Ang was thinking about his thoughts while riding his horse. He learned the art of war from his father since he was a child, and some parts of "The Art of War" were even copied by him. When he was a child, he sat on his father's lap and listened to him explain the art of war, I heard him say that Chenliujun is a battleground for soldiers, and Chenliujun is not only a granary, but also a famous brocade place in the world, especially the brocade of Xiangyi, which is a must for the dress of the Son of Heaven.
Indigo and cyanosis are the most commonly used dyes and have an incomparable status in Chenliu, and to some extent, this is also Chenliu's blue blood. But when the war comes, will these beautiful plants still be saved? When the army stepped on, wouldn't it be a land of blue blood? He loves blue, he can't bear to see this, he wants to stop it, but there is nothing he can do. Whenever he thought of this, he blamed himself and felt depressed.
"After the autumn harvest, these indigo flowers bloom, and they are very beautiful." Cao Ang said.
The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, Cao Chun didn't hear what he said, turned his head to look at him, and showed puzzled eyes. Cao Ang pursed his lips, a little embarrassed, shook his head, and signaled that it was nothing. Cao Chun glanced at him and sighed secretly, but didn't say anything. He could see that Cao Ang was in a bad mood during this time, and often sat alone and meditated, sometimes standing on the city wall for half a day.
He was probably frightened by Sun Ce. Cao Chunxiang fought with Sun Ce several times, defeated Xiahou Yuan in one battle, and then fought and both of them were injured, and Cao Cao was defeated even worse in the third battle, the whole army was wiped out, Xiahou was injured in the eye, and he couldn't go back to his home, so he had to go to Chang'an. Cao Ang has been fighting with Cao Cao for so long, winning and losing are common, only the three battles with Sun Ce have been lost, and it is normal to leave a shadow.
Both father and son were unlucky. Cao Cao has fallen behind compared to Sun Jian, Cao Ang and Sun Ce are further apart, young people have high spirits, and it is inevitable that they will be a little timid when they suffer such a setback. But this is his own hurdle, whether he can step through it is up to him, others can't help.
Only then can he become a real celebrity.
Cao Chun suddenly hesitated, maybe he shouldn't go to Chang'an, but should stay here to help Cao Ang. Only by defeating Sun Ce once could Cao Ang overcome his psychological fears.
"Zixiu, why don't I stay, fight a battle and leave." Cao Chun grabbed the reins of his horse and approached Cao Ang. "I haven't avenged the revenge I was injured last time, so I'm not reconciled."
Cao Ang was looking sideways at the indigo on both sides of the company, and was suddenly interrupted by Cao Chun, and he couldn't react a little. He looked at Cao Chun's concerned eyes suspiciously, and then reacted. He shook his head and smiled shyly: "Uncle Zihe, don't worry about me, I'm fine." β
"Is it really okay? I don't think you've been in a good mood for the past two days. β
"It's fine." Cao Ang blushed and said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of Sun Ce, I just feel that the war will be together, and many people will die, and this piece of indigo will also be destroyed." His voice was too small, Cao Chun didn't hear it, he always felt that he lacked confidence, and wanted to encourage him a few words, but he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he had to keep silent.
The two of them hurried all the way, and when it was dark, they arrived at Yongqiu. When Cao Cao set out to conquer Nanyang, he entrusted his family to Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao placed them in Yongqiu. First, it is convenient for Cao Ang to visit, and secondly, Yongqiu is a granary, which is convenient for food and cheap food.
Cao Ang entered the city and went straight to the small courtyard. Mrs. Ding was sitting in the hall, with a calm face and a silent voice. Mrs. Bian accompanied her and spoke softly, Cao Ying was holding Cao Zhang, who was just three years old, and was feeding the chickens in the yard, Cao Pi squatted aside, her eyes rolled around, and she didn't know what she was thinking. When Cao Ang saw it, he couldn't help laughing: "Ah Pi, are you hungry and want to eat chicken?" β
When Cao Pi heard the voice, he flew over, jumped up, threw himself into Cao Ang's arms, and said in Cao Ang's ear: "Brother, we haven't eaten meat for a long time, I want to eat meat." β
Cao Ang's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a little more melancholy in his eyes. "Haven't eaten meat in a long time?"
"Uh-huh." Cao Pi nodded vigorously and secretly glanced at Mrs. Ding in the hall. "Mother is not allowed to say."
Cao Ang patted Cao Pi's ass and whispered, "I have meat to eat today, eat two more pieces." β
"Okay." Cao Pi smiled, licked his lips, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Cao Ying greeted him. "Brother, you're back."
"Well, it's back, let me hug it." Cao Ang squatted down, picked up Cao Zhang, and held him high. "It's heavy again, haha, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Cao Chang grinned, revealing a neat mouthful of baby teeth, saliva sliding down the corners of his mouth and dripping onto Cao Ang's armor. He didn't speak very clearly, but he had a lot of strength, and his little foot kicked Cao Ang's breastplate crackling. Cao Ang laughed. "Ah Zhang has a lot of strength, and he will definitely be a tiger general in the future."
Mrs. Ding was not in a good mood, but when she saw Cao Ang, she immediately raised her eyebrows and waved her hand to Mrs. Bian. "Okay, we'll talk about the rest later, you go sell some wine and cut some meat first. Zixiu fought hard, eat something good today. β
Mrs. Bian bowed down and agreed, and just as she was about to leave, Cao Ang rushed over with Cao Zhang in her arms. "Mother, don't worry about Mrs. Bian, I'll let the guards buy it. Recently, I was paid a military salary, and I still have some leftovers, so I brought it back to buy some food for my younger brothers and sisters. β
Mrs. Ding raised her eyebrows lightly and nodded. "It's fine. Then you go and arrange it, you don't need to accompany you here. β
Mrs. Bian turned and went. Cao Ang hugged Cao Zhang and sat in front of Mrs. Ding. Mrs. Ding glanced at him and said in a low voice: "A younger brother, is it necessary to be so spoiled?" My sister didn't see you hurt so much. β
"Mother, Ah Weng is not at home, it all depends on you and Mrs. Bian, why bother to divide the sons and daughters, they are all the children of the mother."
Mrs. Ding snorted, but said nothing more. Cao Pi stood at the foot of the stairs from a distance, not daring to go to the court. Seeing this, Cao Ying took his hand and went to the hall and sat on the other side of Mrs. Ding. "Mother, you're a little biased. If Brother doesn't come back, you won't see a smiling face for a few days. As soon as Brother came back, your eyes widened with a smile. β
"You conscienceless girl, am I bad for you?" Mrs. Ding said angrily: "Your brother is back, are you not happy? β
"Happy, happy." Cao Ying smiled: "It's just that my brother's body smells too big, and I don't know how to wash it." β
"Alas, it's like this in the barracks, but I can't complain about your brother. By the way, Zixiu, why did you come back all of a sudden? β
Cao Ang put down Cao Zhang, asked Cao Ying to take the two younger brothers aside to play, and then said what he thought. Mrs. Ding also put away her smile and bowed slightly. "You are right, you Ah Weng is in Chang'an, and you really need someone to take care of you. This Bian family is a capable child, let her go to Chang'an, and have a few more children, so as not to mess around outside again. Zixiu, Yuan Tan has come to Yanzhou, do you plan to visit? β
"I'm getting ready to go."
"Don't rush." Madame Ding looked around and lowered her voice. "I heard that Zhang Mengzhuo hasn't left yet."
Cao Ang was surprised. "Zhang Mengzhuo didn't go to see Yuan Yuanjun? Why? β
Mrs. Ding shook her head. "I don't know why, I was looking for a chance to ask you, but I didn't expect you to know. Didn't you hear anything when you were around you? β
Cao Ang shook his head, groaned for a while, and said: "I heard Ah Weng say that Zhang Mengzhuo blamed the leader of the Yuan League a few words when the sour jujube alliance was formed. But that's all the righteousness of friends, and it won't be haunted by this, right? For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
