Chapter 29: Cao's Xiahou Clan

Cao Xing's father has three brothers, and he is the second, and his uncle's words are to the point.

A person who has ascended to heaven is a chicken dog, no matter how the clansmen are, there is some blood connection, even if it is a fellow villager with the same accent in the same county and county, in today's Han Dynasty, under normal circumstances, loyalty and a sense of belonging are higher than other subordinates.

After many people got their ambitions, they recommended villagers as officials, such as Xu Rong recommended his fellow villager Gongsun Du to Dong Zhuo as the Taishou of Liaodong, and Zhao Yun recommended Xiao Xiahou Lan to Liu Bei.

Cao Xing didn't procrastinate, or took the opportunity to put forward conditions, and readily agreed: "Uncle, Cao Xiang is also fifteen years old, follow me to be a pro-soldier first, follow me to study for a few years, how about improving when you are older?" ”

"Great! Thank you, second brother! Before his father could speak, Cao Xiang, who had been listening to his cousin's bravery, swallowed the dumplings hard and replied vaguely.

Cao Xuan stood up and said to all the clansmen: "Sex flows in the blood of the Cao family, and now I dare not forget the care and teaching of the clansmen, and anyone who is willing to follow me is welcome!" ”

"Count me in!" Unexpectedly, Li Zheng Cao Shan was the first to stand up.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Shanbo has a cautious personality and rich experience, and for more than ten years for Lizheng, Caojia Village has been well organized, and there is a lack of elders like Shanbo to teach him carefully!" You are welcome to join us! ”

Seeing that Cao Shan, who was more than forty years old, was so motivated, Cao Xing readily agreed, and with him as an example, other clansmen began to enthusiastically recommend themselves.

Cao Xing did not refuse, not only did not persuade the old clansmen to leave, but also encouraged everyone to follow the family, it doesn't matter if you can't walk, Cao Xing paid for the ox cart and carriage, and transported you to Yangxin, and then transferred to Dongmu.

As a scholar, Huangfu Li waited for an opportunity to encourage a few words, and finally most of the clan followed with his family.

On the same day, Cao Xing began to arrange, with the clansmen as guides, plus ten tigers and leopards, to go to the surrounding township pavilions, and even the county and the border military camps of the Great Wall, to buy oxen, horse, carts and all kinds of materials.

Eighty-two tribes followed Cao Xing, and there were sixty-four tribes left in Caojia Village.

The first thing Cao Xing did was to lead the clansmen and bring a heavy dowry, as long as you like it, you have to take it over and accept it with money, and use power to lure it.

In Caojia Village, every day there are lanterns and lanterns, and a big wedding banquet is held, and at the highest time, there are ten people marrying relatives and concubines a day, reaching one-third of the 33 men who remained.

It doesn't matter if you're too young, take a child daughter-in-law home first, and it doesn't matter if you're old, take care of it every day.

In a word, strive to expand the size of the clan.

The female clansmen stayed in the clan, and invited the husband to enter Caojia Village, and began to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, women's etiquette every day, so as to marry a good husband in the future.

Caojia Village is located in the middle of the mountain, there is only one road up the mountain, occupies the geographical advantage, the periphery of the tree up a small village, in the form of a small dock fort construction, five clever clansmen, Cao sex through the relationship, for a certain pavilion chief, county officials and other small officials in the face, open up the white road.

Not far from Caojia Village, he ordered Jinyi Weihutang to send the next soldier to form a bandit camp in the mountains thirty miles away to secretly protect the people of Caojia Village.

Cao Xing said goodbye to the clansmen who stayed in the village, led the eighty-two clansmen, more than 200 defected to himself, the clansmen's maiden family was young and strong, and more than 500 recruited hometown recruits, drove the ox cart, with the salute, Liu Pi took a hundred tigers and leopards to escort them, went to Caojiagang in Yangxin, and then took a boat to Dongmu.

Cao Xing led a hundred tigers and leopards to turn to the Xiongnu gathering place, where fish resources were scarce and the climate was cold.

Cao Xuan used canned fish, dried fish fillets, amber fairy brew, and money to buy 1,000 young and strong slaves of the Huns, 1,000 war horses, 1,000 pack horses, 500 cattle, and some materials such as sheep, wool, leather, and air-dried meat.

Turn around and catch up with the group.

Yu Changshan and the Xiahou Lan team who was ordered by Cao Xing to return to his hometown and call for the clansmen to make peace.

As soon as she saw her benefactor, Xiahou Lan was ashamed, and she couldn't wait to kill herself on the spot, bowed her head and bowed her hand and said: "Lan has the trust of the lord, and Fa Xiao Zhao Yun went north to Gongsun Zhan a few months ago. ”

"Xiahou Junzheng! You and I live and die together! Why bother! Miss Zhao Zilong this time, although it is a pity, but what about the future? Look at the crowd of people dressed up behind you, and the task of calling on the clansmen has been successfully completed! Cao Xing pretended to be angry and staggered the topic.

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Xia Houlan returned, and then raised her hand, spread her palm, and invited: "But I invited his brother Zhao Feng." ”

At this time, a man who was about thirty years old, thin as firewood, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, came to pay tribute: "Zhao Feng, a grass man, has seen Cao Longjiang!" ”

Looking at the sickly thin Zhao Feng, Cao Xing couldn't help but calculate his lifespan, in history, when Liu Bei went to Xiaopei, Zhao Yun's brother passed away and went home to mourn.

According to the official history, there are not a few years to live.

Cao Xing returned the salute in a low-key manner, encouraged a few words, and comforted Xia Houlan again.

The Cao family, the Xiahou family, the two families reconciled, and the Zhao Feng family of three continued their journey to Caojiagang in Yangxin.

When he left, there were hundreds of people, and when he returned, there were 21 soldiers of the Cao clan, 37 soldiers of the Xiahou clan, 2,000 new soldiers from the same township, and 1,000 slave knights.

--

The Yellow Turban that affected Kyushu was pacified, the imperial court changed the Yuan to Zhongping, and granted amnesty to the world to soothe people's hearts, and Dong Zhuo regained his freedom.

But the world is not peaceful.

Xiliang Qiang rebelled, pushed Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals, and supported Xiliang celebrities Han people and Han Sui as leaders, causing trouble in Xiliang and affecting Sanfu.

Dong Zhuo, the victorious general of the Xiliang battlefield, was relocated to the Zhonglang general, and then worshiped the general and led the troops west.

In the spring of the second year of Zhongping, the county soldiers and townsmen were about to be disbanded on the spot, and 50,000 Yulin returned triumphantly.

Cao Xuan came to the Huangfu Song camp with a list.

Looking at the list in his hand, Huangfu Song looked at his apprentice with a puzzled expression: "Xiaojun, there are no less than 300 people up and down, but the battle has been flattened, and your 50,000 army is facing disbandment, why do you need to transfer people?" ”

Cao Xing, who knew that the chaos had just begun, regretted his face, and did not fake it with Huangfu Song, who was the master: "The Xiliang Qiang clan is still in turmoil, small strands of yellow scarves have sprung up in various places, and natural disasters have not stopped in various places. ”

Huangfu Song looked at Cao Xing, his expression was sad, and he didn't know what to say.

Looking at the comprehensive victory of this battle, Huangfu Song, who was in a state of longing, was hit so directly by himself, Cao Xing's face was unbearable, but he still continued resolutely:

"In vain, Cao Xing, waiting for the day, ready to accept the call of the court and the teacher at any time."

Huangfu Song was silent, tall and mighty, with a straight body, became a little stiff, and he didn't even know when Cao Xing went out, but he only remembered that he agreed to Cao Xing's secondment.
