The morning sun at noon set a touch of crimson in the western sky, and the positive sun in the sky and the ground slowly painted the growing golden light on the Cao Ying, which seemed to be a red coat for each camp. In the distance, a carriage was supported by a group of cavalry from far and near, and the noisy hooves of horses collided with the ground with a rumbling sound, and the momentum was compelling.

Before the group of horses arrived at the camp tent, they saw Cao Ang on the car turn over and get out of the car, leading a middle-aged scribe who straddled the horse behind him to step towards the middle of the tent, Shi Shiran walked into the main camp of the heavily guarded Cao Ying, but saw rows of strong men in the north who were defending the mighty north standing on both sides in leather armor, and the soldiers who came and went saw that the person who came was the son of Lord Sikong, and they all bowed their heads and flashed, and they flashed for Cao Ang.

Before leaving for the tent, Cao Ang turned his head and showed a kind smile and said, "Mr. Jia, I bother you to be here later, Cao Ang will first enter the account to introduce Mr. to his father." Jia Xu nodded lightly and said, "The eldest prince, please." Cao Ang smiled slightly, then turned around and went in first.

The layout and furnishings of the Chinese army marshal's tent are slightly neater than Cao Ang's last time, it seems that it has been carefully cleaned up, only to see more than 20 people in the tent at this time, the left and right sides of the tent are black and pressed, and there are more than 20 people in the middle of the green smoke incense burner, Cao Cao is high and in the middle of the seat, his expression is solemn, his eyes are half-closed and half-open looking down at everyone, and Dian Wei is standing sideways like an iron tower, it seems that he should be discussing important military affairs.

Seeing this, Cao Ang hurriedly leaned over and bowed, his fists in front of Xiong, his forehead nodded slightly, and he said loudly: "Cao Ang has seen my father. "With so many people standing or sitting, it really gives people a heavy sense of majesty and oppression.

Cao Cao was discussing the important needs of the southwest army with everyone at this time, and when he saw Cao Ang receiving the order and returning, he immediately said lightly: "Well, you are back, your body is healing, so you don't need so much courtesy." ”

Cao Ang got up when he heard this, but when he saw Cao Cao, who was on the top, he gently stroked his long beard, and continued with a slight smile on his face: "My son has worked hard, it's really not easy, I don't know if I have ever persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender?" ”

came, Cao Ang steadied his mind when he heard this, and replied calmly: "Zhang Xiu was overjoyed when he heard that his father was magnanimous and surrendered, and he was ready to accept the ribbon and return to obedience. As soon as the words fell, he saw that all the generals in the tent were smiling, and Xiahou on the side nodded and smiled: "Zixiu persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender and made great contributions, worthy of being Cao's tiger!" ”

"It's just that Zhang Xiu seems to be quite jealous of our army in his heart, and implores his father to order him to sit in Wancheng on behalf of the Son of Heaven." As soon as the words fell, Cao Ang immediately felt an invisible pressure pressing towards him, and a chill surged all over his body for no reason.

After being silent for a long time, he heard Cao Cao say lightly: "Okay, Zhang Xiu's move is also excusable, let him send his son to the court to serve the Son of Heaven, and he is still allowed to sit in Wancheng." Cao Ang was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Father, Zhang Xiu's son is still weak, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the court as an official..."

Before the words were finished, only Cao Cao snorted coldly, Cao Ang's heart suddenly suddenly, for the first time in his life, he realized that a person's momentum can give people such pressure and fear, and he had no choice but to support himself, but he heard Cao Cao say lightly: "He has a good calculation, don't you think that I have no one in the Central Plains!" No one said that the words were both heavy and long, and it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with Cao Ang's return so late.

Seeing Cao Cao's anger, no one dared to say a word for a while, Cao Ang looked down at his feet, his heart was uneasy, just waiting for this fickle Cao Cao to slow down and then speak, for a while, the atmosphere in the tent was extremely solemn.

When he was young, he saw Cao Ang raise his head and force himself to calm down: "Although the child failed to say Zhang Xiu sent a hostage for his father, he brought back one person for his father, and the child vouched that if his father got this person to be attached, he would win ten Wancheng." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Cao Cao, but also other people became curious, and no one knew who could be so respected by this usually cold and arrogant eldest prince.

What kind of person is Cao Cao, at first he heard that Cao Ang was so indulgent with Zhang Xiu, which was extremely unhappy, and at this time, his heart sank, knowing that his son who had changed a little must have invited some important person, so he eased his face a little and said lightly: "Zixiu, don't sell Guanzi, who did you invite to be in the lonely army?" ”

I saw Cao Ang raise his head and barely squeeze out a smile and said: "When my father rescued and welcomed the Son of Heaven in the past, I don't know if I have ever heard of Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe of Wuwei County?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he didn't see what the others were doing, but Cao Cao suddenly got up and said, "Jia Xu! "Jia Xu, how can Cao Cao not know that when Chang'an changed greatly in the past, Wang Yun used a series of tricks to make the female Diao Chan separate Dong and Lu, and killed Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop. At this time, Li Wei got Jia Xu's words, waved his army into Beijing to force the palace to commit crimes, forced Wang Yun to death, held Emperor Xian hostage, and incorporated the troops in Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and his momentum was comparable to Dong Zhuoshi. Jia Xu not only has a unique vision, but also the art of war is second to none, first offering a plan to expel Lu Bu, and then making a plan to force Ma Teng back. It can be said that the last glimmer of hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty was defeated by Wang Yungang's self-use, and second, it was destroyed by Jia Xu's subversion scheme.

Forgive Cao Mengde for what kind of person, in an instant, his heart was transparent to the key points, only to see Cao Cao look up to the sky and laugh three times, and asked Cao Ang: "Where is Mr. Jia now?" When Cao Ang saw it, he sighed in his heart, Cao Cao is really the same as what the history books say, no matter what your background is, or what you have done before, but you are a talented warrior, and there is no gift to accept, "Back to my father, Mr. Jia is waiting outside the tent." Hearing this, Cao Cao hurriedly got up and said, "Wait for Gu to personally go out to greet Mr. Jia." ”

After that, everything was as Cao Ang expected, Cao Cao personally met Jia Xu, the reason of the guest, Jia Xu also lived up to expectations, although there were not many words, but for Cao Cao's questions were all answered like a stream, his party entered Cao's camp, then for Cao Cao to offer the government and the army two strategies, the government for the foreign light tax, in the name of the Son of Heaven to promote five baht money, to quell since Dong Zhuo's tyranny to disturb the price of money, foreign war strategy for the first sweep of the southeast, and then wave the army to the north, the south cast the canal, in order to be the Jianghuai road, after a few years to calm the north, you can go south along the canal. Attack and defend in one fell swoop. Jia Xu's policy was deeply praised by Cao Cao, and he immediately announced in public that Jia Xu would be appointed as the ruling Jinwu, and after returning to Xu Capital in the future, he would be awarded the seal. After that, Cao Cao talked with Jia Xu day and night, so it was in Cao Ang's arms, Cao Cao attached importance to Jia Xu, and he would not put too much thought on him, so that he could survive for a while.

As for Zhang Xiu's side, after Cao Cao got Jia Xu, he would not put too much thought with him, but in order to test Jia Xu, Cao Cao still insisted on asking Jia Xu's opinion, and Jia Xu was also completely for Cao Cao's sake, and asked Cao Cao to assign his cronies to guard Nanzhao, Zhenping, Fangcheng and other counties attached to Wancheng, so as to curb the ownership of Wancheng's money and grain, and slowly disperse Wanyu's centralized power. In this way, even if Zhang Xiu wants to rebel in the future, he is afraid that he will be powerless, and Jia Xu's plan made Cao Cao praise a lot, but it made Cao Ang shudder.

In the second year of Jian'an, in March 197 AD, Cao Cao recovered Zhang Xiu, still regarded it as the Taishou of Wancheng, ordered its governor Wanyu to chase the road, and canonized Jia Xu as the ruling Jinwu, and put it around him, and after Wancheng understood all things, he turned back to Xudu.

As the old saying goes: those who pass through Beijing must have a residence, and there must be a rooster on the road to residence. At this time, Cao Cao's army had already marched to Yuxian County, which was sixty miles away from Xudu, and was an important barrier to defend Xudu like Baima, Yanjin and Gucheng in the north.

At this time, it is March, the spring is beginning to appear, the ice and snow melt, although the ice of Bai Kaikai is still frozen on the mountains in the distance, but the plain is already green grass, today's spring breeze is blowing slowly, sweeping on the face of Cao Ang who returned with the army to the north, but it is also extremely comfortable, Cao Ang is unfamiliar with riding on the Dawan horse offered by Zhang Xiu, looking at the white clouds floating in the blue sky, it is also a comfortable and relaxed mood.

The team walked slowly, and after a while, they had already seen Xudu, and under the light of the sun that was not strong after the early spring of winter, they saw that the city tower that lived was towering into the clouds, and the charm was extraordinary.

Cao Ang couldn't help smacking his tongue and said: "It turns out that Xu Du is like this, it's really magnificent!" Yang Yuan, who was behind him, hurriedly smiled and said: "The eldest prince, Xuchang is the imperial capital, gorgeous and extraordinary, when I wanted to be small when I saw the prosperity of Xudu for the first time, what I wanted to do most was to stand on top of the city tower and jump."

Cao Ang didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, just quietly looked at the prosperous Xu Capital, and said with complicated thoughts in his heart: "From today on, I am the concubine of Cao Sikong, the capital of the Han Kingdom, and I don't know what kind of life I will face in the future..."

When he was about to go under the gate of Xudu, Cao Ang looked up carefully, but saw a big fiery red flag on the city wall swaying in the wind, and the flag was embroidered with a big black and red edge..."Han"

Cao Ang was looking around, only to see a soldier of the Tiger Guard coming with a whip, and when he arrived in front of Cao Ang's horse, he saw that the tiger soldier turned over and dismounted neatly, bowed to Cao Ang, and said respectfully: "The eldest prince, Lord Sikong has an order, the eldest prince does not need to be a member, just go back to Sikong Mansion to pay homage to his wife, and Lord Sikong should return to the house after clearing the army." ”

"What? Mother? Cao Ang couldn't help but open his mouth and couldn't speak, but Yang Yuan on the side said to Cao Ang with a charming smile: "Lord Sikong is really sympathetic to Gongzi, as soon as Fang enters the city, he will allow Gongzi to return to his home, which is an unprecedented precedent."

"Shut up!" Cao Ang turned his head to Yang Yuan and shouted angrily, and then couldn't help but secretly worry about it, Cao Cao hadn't passed the level, and he was going to visit Cao Ang's mother in the Sikong Mansion.

Thinking about it, Cao Ang is also helpless, things now, only one step is a step, Cao Ang and Yang Yuan and other entourages traveled west, when they were young, they came to a magnificent mansion, Cao Ang's eyes were sharp, and he saw a sign hanging on the door of the mansion, with a big "Cao" word written, he should not know the ancient text, but I don't know because Cao Ang himself still has some residual knowledge or something else, for these Han Dynasty words and some basic etiquette, he still has some impressions subconsciously.

Just as Cao Ang was carefully looking at Cao's Mansion, he only heard Yang Yuan dismount and shouted loudly at the guards guarding the gate of Sikong Mansion: "Hurry up and report to Madame, just say that the eldest prince has returned from the southern expedition and has arrived at the mansion, let everyone in the mansion come to meet him as soon as possible!" ”
