The wind was blowing strongly, and the cold was pressing, Sun Ce tightened his grip and walked side by side with Cao Ang.

Cao Ying stood beside the car in the distance, wiping her tears. Xiahou Zhen and Xiahou Xian accompanied her. Mrs. Ding sat in the car, looking at Cao Ying next to the car for a while, and Sun Ce and Cao Ang in the distance.

"What do they say?" Mrs. Ding muttered: "I've been talking for a long time, if this falls into the eyes of someone with a heart, he will not be able to wash it out in the future." ”

Ding Ruyi smiled lightly. "Zi Xiu has entered the realm of Yuzhou, and he can't wash it out."

Mrs. Ding sighed softly and was speechless for a long time. Ding Ruyi said again: "But this is not a bad thing. Yuan Benchu was not a lord to be served, and Zixiu couldn't do without the support of the people of Yanzhou, so he couldn't afford the notoriety of betraying the lord. Taking the opportunity to ask for the lives of the people of Yanzhou to break away from Yuan Benchu, at least the people of Yanzhou want to see him, and when Yuan Benchu comes to commit crimes in the future, Zixiu will not be alone and leave in a hurry. ”

Mrs. Ding muttered a few words and said nothing more. Although she is a sister, in terms of knowledge, the younger sister is obviously slightly better. Cao Ang is filial piety, but he is not stupid, there are wise people like Chen Gong by his side, and he will not fail to think of this.

"It's just that General Sun is cunning and Zixiu is benevolent, I'm afraid he is not his opponent. I'm worried that Zixiu was deceived by him. ”

Ding Ruyi couldn't help laughing. "Zixiu is already weak, and he has been fighting for many years, sitting on one side, do you still treat him as a child." She paused, and then said, "Zixiu is a smart person, but he just doesn't care about being smart." ”

"Do you still have to say that?" Mrs. Ding's eyebrows showed a little smugness, and she couldn't hide the pride in Cao Ang's eyes when she looked at Cao Ang in the distance. Ding Ruyi pushed her with a smile, and then looked at his sons under the car, especially Xiahou Cheng, who was obviously much stronger, and was distracted for a while. Xiahou said that his health was not very good, this time Zhang Zhongjing, the sacrificial wine of Nanyang Materia Medica, rushed to Yuzhou to deal with the epidemic, and they had the opportunity to receive Zhang Zhongjing's diagnosis and treatment, Zhang Zhongjing said that Xiahou said that the illness in front of him was fine, but he had a congenital hidden disease, and he may not live to be twenty years old.

If it is only for health preservation, the Living Immortal Yu Ji is undoubtedly the best master. However, Yu Ji treats people every day, Ding Ruyi is worried that Xiahou said that he was infected by illness and his condition relapsed, and Xiahou said that he played with Xiahou Ba and Cao Ying during this time, and was very interested in the art of war and martial arts, and showed that he was not weaker than Xiahou Ba's talent, she felt that maybe it was also a good choice for Xiahou to say that it was also a good choice to practice martial arts, but she had not found a suitable master for a while.

There are many masters in Pingyu, but most of them are Sun Ce's subordinates, she is already under the fence when she comes to Pingyu, and she doesn't want to ask for anyone more.

Maybe you can find Ho. He Yan's swordsmanship is extraordinary, so it is also a good choice for Xiahou to say that it is also a good choice to learn swords with him. It's just that He Yan is now a prisoner, and it is not so easy to apprentice, unless he asks Yuan Quan again and asks her to intercede with Sun Ce. But she had already troubled Yuan Quan too much, and she was embarrassed to speak again.

Sun Ce stopped and looked at the official road that stretched into the distance. "If I go a thousand miles, I won't delay Cao Zhijun. Before parting, say another word to the villain. ”

"General, please."

"If Yuan Shao comes to commit it, how will you stay?"

Cao Ang thought for a moment. "Yanzhou is desolate, there is no room for a month, and we can't fight again."

"What if Yuan Benchu has to fight?"

"Then I can only raise the arm of the praying mantis and be a car with a thousand stones. I don't dare to have the hope of compromise, I just want to be worthy of my heart. ”

Sun Ce nodded and smiled. "Actually, you have a better way."

Cao Ang sighed lightly: "General, I know that Yanyu is one and cannot be separated, and if you can get the help of the general, it is not impossible to break Yuan." It's just that the father and son are both former ministers of the Yuan family, and the Yanzhou scholars have a lot of misunderstandings about the general, and I'm afraid it's difficult to entangle between them......"

Sun Ce raised his hand. "I misunderstood, I'm not the one who takes advantage of others. I'm talking about another way, let Yuan Shao avoid it. ”

Cao Ang looked at Sun Ce puzzled. Sun Ce laughed. This Cao Ang is really upright, he is not suitable for this troubled world.

"The son of a daughter, he can't sit down. Yuan Shao regards himself as the world, is he willing to enter the hometown of epidemics? ”

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized. He patted his forehead and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Understood, understood." ”

——

Sun Ce changed Cao Ang's mount, and arranged for Cao Ang and others to be provided with food and lodging along the way, so that Cao Ang could move forward at the fastest speed. Three days later, he returned to his own. After a short stop, he took the guard battalion and rushed back to Changyi.

Seeing Cao Ang's safe return, Chen Gong and Cao Ren both breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly inquired about the situation. Cao Ang told the story of the incident. Hearing that Sun Ce refused to give Yanzhou medicine and was only willing to accept Yanzhou refugees, Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and smiled bitterly. Sun Ce: This is obviously a population grab. The population of Yanzhou is not as good as that of Yuzhou, the Yellow Turban has crossed the border several times over the years, and the population loss is amazing. The epidemic in Yanzhou can be alleviated, but without the population, Yanzhou is dying from then on, and has no strength to compete with Sun Ce.

Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, and it's a lot of rice, and even the rice jar was almost carried away.

But what about him? It is useless for these people to stay in Yanzhou, it will only cause more panic, let them flee to Yuzhou, let them find a way to survive on their own, and at least relieve the pressure on Yanzhou.

"One more thing." Cao Ang coughed twice, interrupting Chen Gong's chagrin.

Chen Gong hadn't come back to his senses yet, and said unrightly: "Envoy, what's the matter?" ”

Cao Ang stared at Chen Gong, Chen Gong lowered his head and waited for a long time, he didn't hear Cao Ang speak, he raised his head in surprise, only then did he realize that Cao Ang's expression was very serious, and he quickly sat up straight. "Envoy, please speak."

"Yuan Benchu was unfavorable in the initial battle, and was forced to make peace with Zhang Ze, the war in Youzhou has ended, and he will soon go south, and next year's war may be more intense than this year. Yanzhou is caught in the middle, it is unavoidable, we must be prepared, lest the six gods will be left without a master at that time. ”

Chen Gong was taken aback. "Yuan Benchu is going south? Is he crazy? Envoy, is this news accurate? ”

"Exactly, General Sun said it to me personally."

"He said this to you?"

"I have been in Pingyu for three days and two nights, and I have met General Sun three times, and I have said a lot, and I will tell you slowly when I have time." Cao Ang waved his hand and motioned to Chen Gong not to divert the topic. "Brother Gongtai, at this point, Yanzhou can no longer rely on anyone, so he can only rely on himself. If you want to gain a foothold in these four wars, you still need to rely on the Gongtai brothers. ”

Although he had been mentally prepared, hearing Cao Ang's words, Chen Gong was a little flustered and nodded again and again.

Also, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died of illness, and before he died, he divided Xuzhou into two and invested in Sun Yuan. I estimate that before Yuan Benchu goes south, Qingzhou will be the first to raise swords. Uncle Zixiao, you ordered Cheng Yu to guard the border and maintain communication with Tai Shici to avoid misunderstandings, Yanzhou should try to gain time to recuperate as much as possible and avoid getting involved in the war too early, even if it is a day. ”

Cao Ren hurriedly agreed, his brows furrowed, and he also felt that it was very tricky. Mao Jue, Wei Zhen and others were also worried and worried.

Cao Ang looked around and tapped his finger lightly. "The war is about to start, I hope you will work hard and seek a glimmer of life for Yanzhou!"
