Liu Yi, who was kicked out, dragged his tired body and sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard and began to rest.

"If you don't let me sleep with you, sooner or later I will sleep with the two of you!"

After muttering, Liu Yi got up and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

At this time, in the outer courtyard, in addition to the guards who watched the night, the subordinates also went down to rest.

"Hahaha~ Isn't that old thief Dong Zhuo going to be angry to death!"

Liu Yi, who was thinking about going to rest with Zhang Fei and a few people tonight, suddenly heard Zhang Fei's hearty shout from Guan Yu's room on the side.

I saw Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Yao Lie, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Cui Si and six people, who were sitting in Guan Yu's house drinking at this time.

Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu were chatting with everyone about what happened in Luoyang City.

Liu Yi walked slowly to the door, only to hear another arrogant shout from inside, "Lao Guan, do you say that Lu Bu is really that powerful?" Why don't I believe it! When I have a chance in the future, I must meet him well! ”

Zhang Fei in the room, as soon as he heard Guan Yu say Lu Bu, he began to shout loudly with dissatisfaction.

"Yide, it's not that I have the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige, then Lu Bu doesn't seem to be bad at martial arts, plus now there is the red rabbit horse given by Dong Thief and the armor given by the lord, if we really meet it on the battlefield, we still have to be careful!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei shouted with a big grin, "Oh, no matter how powerful he is, he can beat so many of us?" It's a big deal, let's go up together and beat him up in groups! ”

Guan Yu and the others on the side laughed when they heard this.

Seeing that everyone was chatting so happily, Liu Yi slammed open the door. Everyone in the room was startled by the sudden sound of the door opening, and they all raised their heads to look at the door.

"Don't even call me when you drink!" Liu Yi laughed loudly at the people in front of him.

Seeing that it was Liu Yi, everyone hurriedly got up and greeted him.

"My lord, come and sit here!" Cui Si pointed to an empty seat beside him with a flattering face.

Seeing this, Liu Yi smiled and walked over and sat down.

"Si'er, hurry up and get a pair of chopsticks for the lord!" Zhang Fei greeted Cui Si and shouted.

"Gotcha!" Cui Si screamed, and then ran out of the room.

After Cui Si went out, everyone sat down again.

Guan Yu and the others sat around Liu Yi and looked at Liu Yi with a look of desire to speak.

"What? If you have something to say, what are you doing staring at me at night? Liu Yi was stared at by everyone.

Hearing this, everyone glanced at each other, and then Xi Zhi took the lead in opening his mouth.

"Lord, you shouldn't be ...... right now How did you get here? ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi immediately understood the meaning of what Xi Zhicai said, glanced at Xi Zhicai, and complained, "It's not all because of you!" ”

Liu Yi's words immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Oh? Lord, what's wrong with Mr. Drama? Zhang Fei asked with a puzzled expression.

Hearing this, Liu Yi glanced at Xi Zhicai and said, "Did you kid secretly go to see Lord Wang Yun in Luoyang City?" ”

As soon as Liu Yi asked about this, Xi Zhicai was stunned at first, and then looked at it with inquiring eyes

to Guan Yu beside him.

Seeing this, Guan Yu hurriedly explained to Xi Zhicai, "Sir, I didn't tell my lord anything!" ”

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai suddenly showed a wry smile.

"Yun Chang, what's the difference between what you said and what you said!"

Looking at the appearance of Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Lord, what's the matter? Let's hear about it! After laughing, Zhang Fei looked at Liu Yi with a smile on his face.

"You let him speak for himself!" Liu Yi looked at Xi Zhicai and said angrily.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai laughed embarrassedly twice, and then told everyone about his conspiration with Wang Yun to send Diao Chan out of the city in Luoyang City.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

"My lord, this is a good thing! How can you blame Mr. Drama? Zhang Fei looked at Liu Yi with a mocking expression and smiled.

"! Lao Tzu has no place to sleep now, it's a good thing, anyway, I don't care, Madame won't let me go back to the room, I'll sleep with you! Liu Yi said with a blank face.

As he was talking, Cui Si walked in with a pair of chopsticks and a hippie smile. Then they began to drink and talk. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Early the next morning, Liu Yi walked out of Xi Zhicai's room in a daze with a headache caused by a hangover.

After a brief wash, Liu Yi came to the backyard alone, and when he learned that Wei Simeng and Diao Chan hadn't gotten up yet, Liu Yi laughed, and then returned to the outer courtyard.

After simply eating breakfast with everyone, at this time, Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Wei also walked out of the room.

Since the subordinates in the house learned that the people in the room were the Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor, they were extra careful in serving.

After serving the two of them after breakfast, Liu Yi, Xi Zhicai and others took hundreds of guards to escort Empress Dowager He and the young emperor all the way to the temporarily renovated palace.

For safety and other reasons, Cheng Yu chose the palace only three streets away from Liu Yi's mansion.

The scale of the palace is definitely not as large as Luoyang City, but it is also two or three times larger than Liu Yi's mansion, which is enough for Empress Dowager He and others to live and work.

After visiting the entire palace, Liu Yi and others came to the dormitory built by Empress Dowager He and others.

Looking at the beautifully decorated dormitory, even Liu Yi began to be a little jealous of Empress Dowager He and others.

"Brother Cheng! You really don't want to save me money! Although Liu Yi muttered so much in his heart, he didn't mean to complain about Cheng Yu at all, on the contrary, looking at the palace carved in front of him, Liu Yi was very satisfied.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, are you still satisfied with the palace here?" Liu Yi looked at the palace in front of him and said to the Empress Dowager He and the others with some pride.

Hearing this, I saw that the Empress Dowager He nodded, then turned her head and said to everyone with a smile, "Being able to build such a good palace in a small county town is enough to see that you have good intentions, thank you for your sorrows!" ”

After speaking, I saw that the Empress Dowager He actually put down her previous figure and bowed deeply to Liu Yi and the others.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to support Empress Dowager He.

"This old lady is not right

Pay! Liu Yi, Cheng Yu, and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and thought of this place with a clear mind.

They walked around the palace for about a morning, and then had lunch together in the palace.

The chefs in the palace are all chefs transferred by Cui Si from his own restaurants, although they can't be compared with the chefs in Luoyang City, but they are also top chefs in Zhuo County.

After lunch, Liu Yi arranged for two thousand guards to act as forbidden troops and be responsible for guarding the safety of the palace.

The leader of the forbidden army was originally one of Liu Yi's personal guards, and in the past few years of protecting Liu Yi, it can be said that he has been loyal.

Liu Yi trusted him very much, so he handed over this important task to him.

As for the maids and subordinates in the palace, they were all found by Cui Si and Cheng Yu, most of them were family members of soldiers in the army, and they were also extremely loyal to Liu Yi.

As a result, the soldiers in the army saw that their families had such a good job, and they all followed Liu Yi with all their hearts.

After arranging all the affairs, Liu Yi led everyone out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, Liu Yi first went to the Arsenal Division and the Academy Palace for a walk, and found that everything was running smoothly under Cheng Yu's arrangement, and Liu Yi returned to the palace with confidence.

……

Chen stayed in the city.

After many days of running at night, Cao Cao and Chen Gong finally came to Chen Liucheng.

Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and Cao Cao had a very close personal relationship, and when he learned that Cao Cao was coming, Zhang Miao was overjoyed and hurriedly took his guards to meet him.

"Hahaha~ Brother Meng De, after the yellow scarf calmed down, we were separated for a few years, but I didn't expect to see each other today!"

Zhang Miao and Cao Cao have not seen each other for several years since the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and when they meet again, it is difficult to sigh in their hearts.

"Wei Shang, you go and send someone to prepare a banquet, I will entertain Brother Meng De today!" Zhang Miao laughed and ordered Wei Shangdao beside him.

Liu Yi's brother-in-law Wei Shang was originally very valued by Zhang Miao, and he and Liu Yi had guarded Zhang Jiao's attack on Chen Liu, so he was even more favored. In Chen Liu, Wei Shang can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person.

After hearing Zhang Miao's order, Wei Shang responded, and then ran down to make arrangements.

"Brother Meng De, hurry up and follow me into the house to rest first!"

After speaking, Zhang Miao took Cao Cao's hand and walked towards his house.

Friends who have reunited after a long absence, naturally have endless words in their hearts.

On the banquet, when the wine was drunk, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao recalled the scene when they calmed down the Yellow Turban Rebellion together, and they couldn't help but be emotional.

When talking about the situation of the two after the yellow scarf, I saw Zhang Miao put down the wine glass, and said abruptly, "Since the yellow scarf, the foolish brother I have been nesting in this Chen Liucheng, with the help of the people around me, it can be regarded as being able to let the people in the county live and work in peace and contentment, originally the foolish brother was still complacent about his achievements, but after hearing about the deeds of the virtuous brother, the foolish brother woke up like a dream, and compared with the virtuous brother, my merits are nothing at all!" ”

Cao Cao on the side laughed twice when he heard this,

Then he replied with a smile: "Brother Xian, this is really tormenting me, Cao Cao!" ”

Zhang Miao on the side also laughed when he heard this.

After everyone drank a cup together, Zhang Miao poured wine for Cao Cao and said enviously, "Brother Xian dares to do things that ordinary people dare not do, and he dares to assassinate Dong Zhuo with only one person and one knife, although he did not succeed, but the prestige of Brother Xian is well known at home!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled ashamedly and said, "The assassination is not my work alone, but the master's plan behind it!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Miao, Wei Shang and the others all showed surprised expressions.

"Who is the master?" Zhang Miao asked Cao Cao curiously.

Seeing that everyone was so interested, and Zhang Miao was not an outsider, Cao Cao told everyone about Liu Yi's gift of knives and the arrangement of Cao Cao's assassination.

In addition to Liu Yi and others, only the party Cao Cao knew about these things, even Chen Gong and Cao Cao didn't tell them on the road, because he drank a little too much today, and he finally didn't have to run around, so he was happy, and Cao Cao told everyone about it.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Wei Shang, who was beside Zhang Miao, was more relieved and happy in addition to shock.

"Meng'er, it seems that my brother's decision was not wrong, marrying you to such a person, my brother is at ease." Wei Shang thought secretly in his heart.

Not to mention Wei Shang, even Zhang Miao and Chen Gong on the side, after hearing Cao Cao's words, couldn't help but praise Liu Yilai.

"Wei Shang, it seems that your brother-in-law is really not an ordinary person!"

After Zhang Miao said this, Cao Cao learned that Wei Shang and Liu Yi still had such a relationship, so he hurriedly took a glass of wine and toasted Wei Shang.

After another staggered meal, Zhang Miao asked Cao Cao about his future plans.

So Cao Cao told Zhang Miao that he wanted to raise an army to fight against Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Miao was made by Cao Cao's generous statement, and he was also full of pride in his heart.

"If Brother Xian really has this intention, I am willing to help Brother Foolish!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed.

"If you get the help of a virtuous brother, it will be done at this time!"

……

Speaking of Cao Cao, we have to talk about his father Cao Song.

Cao Song's real name is not Cao, but his surname is "Xiahou", because he is Cao Teng's adopted son, so Cao Song also followed Cao Teng's surname "Cao".

Cao Teng is the Han Prime Minister Cao Shen. He served the four emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Shun, Emperor Chong, Emperor Qin and Emperor Huan, and Emperor Huan's accession to the throne was thanks to Cao Teng, who was also named the Marquis of Fei Ting, and the official worshiped Da Changqiu.

In the last years of Emperor Huan, Cao Song relied on Cao Teng's relationship and treated people decently, and the official worshiped the position of Sili Lieutenant.

When Emperor Ling ascended the throne, because Cao Song was good at making connections, he was promoted to Dahonglu and Dasi Nong, and was successively in charge of the country's financial etiquette, ranking in Jiuqing, with a high position.

During the reign of Emperor Ling, most of the people who were upright and upright were excluded, and Cao Song's ability to navigate the center of power with ease is enough to show that he is not a good person.

Cao Song is not an honest person, he has been an official for many years, and because of his power and profit, the Cao family can be described as a rich one under Cao Song's management

Fang, there are family properties everywhere.

In November of the fourth year of Zhongping, Cui Lie, the then Tai Lieutenant, was deposed, and Cao Song, then the Great Si Nong, bribed the lieutenant and donated 100 million yuan to Xiyuan, so he was the Tai Lieutenant and ranked as the third duke.

Later, because of Runan, Gepi Yellow Turbans attacked the county. Taiwei Cao Song was dismissed, and the dismissed Cao Song returned to his hometown in Qian County because of his advanced age and the fact that his family had enough finances to support his life.

Coincidentally, the Cao family also has a family property in Chenliu, and Cao Song is liquidating the family property in Chenliu at this time, planning to sell the property and then bring it back to his hometown.

Knowing that his father was also in Chenliu, Cao Cao immediately took Chen Gong to meet him.

After the two met, they inevitably chatted for a while.

When he learned that Cao Cao had the intention of raising troops against Dong, Cao Song was shocked.

"Father, now Xiao'er has made his ambition clear, and I hope that my father can help Xiao'er." As soon as he remembered that his father had a lot of property in his hands, Cao Cao, who was worried about having no money to raise troops, attracted Cao Song's attention.

But Cao Song, who has been in officialdom for a long time, is a chicken thief, and besides, he said "Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father", Cao Cao opened his mouth, and Cao Song knew that Cao Cao was asking for money from himself.

"That's it, since you have such ambitions, you can't help your father," said Cao Song, who took out the family business deed left by Chen and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao gratefully accepted the deed, and saw that there were not many valuable properties on it, so he looked embarrassed.

"Father, the matter of raising troops is costly, do you think you can support Xiao'er a little more?" Cao Cao said to Cao Song embarrassedly.

Hearing this, I saw Cao Song shook his head, and Cao Cao, who was a little helpless, said, "Hide it, it's not that you're stingy for your father, it's just that you are raising troops against Dong, and your father is really not optimistic, and the reason why your father doesn't give you all the property in the family is so that you have the capital to make a comeback in the future." ”

Seeing Cao Song say this, Cao Cao had no choice but to give up, and then after chatting with Cao Song respectfully for a while, Cao Cao returned to Zhang Miao's house with the deed in his hand.

Through Zhang Miao's connections, Cao Cao sold most of his father's family business in Chen, leaving only a mansion as his residence.

By dispersing all his family wealth, Cao Cao can be regarded as having a large amount of start-up capital in his hands, but if he wants to achieve great things, this money alone is not enough, after all, raising an army is very expensive.

Under Zhang Miao's introduction, Cao Cao was fortunate to get acquainted with a local rich man named "Wei Zi".

Wei Zi is also a jealous and hateful person, and when he heard that Cao Cao intended to raise troops, he generously took out a large amount of money to support Cao Cao.

After receiving Wei Zi's funding, Cao Cao, through Zhang Miao, began to post recruitment notices near Chenliu.

After the notice was posted, Cao Cao began to stay in Zhang Miao's house and wait for news.

About five days later, with the help of all parties, Cao Cao finally gathered a team of about 5,000 men.

Although these people are all recruits who have not been on the battlefield, they can be regarded as young and strong.

Because Cao Cao used to be a captain in Xiyuan and led troops to fight, Cao Cao was very concerned about military training

Get.

Zhang Miao once sent a few generals around him to help Cao Cao train his troops, but Cao Cao refused, so these 5,000 soldiers can be said to have been trained by Cao Cao.

On this day, Cao Cao and Chen Gong had just returned to their mansion after training their soldiers, when they saw a servant in the mansion running in in a hurry.

"Lord, there are a few people outside who say that they are the lord's own family and want to ask to see the lord!"

"Oh? My home? Cao Cao shouted in surprise, and then hurriedly walked out of the mansion with Chen Gong.

When Cao Cao saw the person who came, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Brother Xian, why are you here?" Cao Cao shouted happily.

I saw that there were four strong men standing outside the door at this time, all of whom were burly and tiger-backed.

The four of them were also very happy to see Cao Cao.

"My brother is making trouble here, how dare you not come to the same place as a brother?" One of them laughed back.

Hearing this, Cao Cao also laughed.

"Quick! Come with me! With that, Cao Cao invited a few people to the mansion.

Everyone drank the tea brought by the people and began to talk.

After chatting for a while, Chen Gong on the side smiled and said to Cao Cao, "Lord, these heroes, why don't you introduce them to you?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao slapped his head and laughed, "Oops! I was so happy to visit just now, I forgot to introduce you to you! ”

Then Cao Cao stood up, pointed to Chen Gong beside him and said, "This is my Cao Cao's savior, Chen Gong Chen Wentai!" ”

Hearing that Cao Cao said that Chen Gong was his savior, the four of them hurriedly got up and bowed to Chen Gong.

"I've seen Brother Wentai!"

Seeing this, Chen Gong also bowed down and returned a salute.

After everyone finished saluting, Cao Cao pointed to the four people opposite Chen Gong and smiled, "These four people are ......."

(Happy holidays, brothers!) Tomorrow is May, brothers have the support of a monthly pass, don't let Xiaosheng pounce too badly!! ）
