After Cao Cao returned home, he first met his father Cao Song, discussed with Cheng Yu, and then let Cheng Yu rest, he called a group of wives and concubines and children, and sighed: "You have suffered here, has Zhang Wenyuan ever coerced and persecuted you?"

The eldest son, Cao Ang, said loudly: "General Zhang is good friends with his grandfather, he is quite kind to us, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and he even sent books to teach the second and third brothers, treating them as sons and nephews. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Oh? Really? Cao Cao's face was happy, and he admired Zhang Liao even more in his heart, but he was even more jealous.

On the side, Mrs. Ding said: "After the concubines came to Luoyang, the wives of the hussar generals also invited the concubines to wait for the house, all of them are good people, or making tea, or weaving, or cooking, or business, each has its own strengths, and they are not in Ayaluo, they are diligent and thrifty, and they are close to each other like sisters, which is enough to set an example for concubines."

Mrs. Bian and other wives and concubines were also full of praise for Zhang Liao's wives.

When Cao Cao heard this, he sighed even more emotionally, and at this time, his younger brother Cao De came and said that his father was invited.

Cao Cao then followed his younger brother to see his father Cao Song.

Cao Song was fiddling with flowers and plants in the backyard, and when he saw Cao Cao coming over, he asked him to sit down under the pavilion, but instead made him tea, which was full of fragrance.

Cao Song couldn't help but praise: "Zhang Wenyuan is a martial artist, but I am more convinced of his infinite skills, such fragrant tea, I have to drink a cup, and I have no regrets in dying."

Cao Cao said: "My father is in good health, why do you say such ominous words."

Cao Song glanced at Cao Cao: "I'm afraid that I will be implicated by you, and the whole door will be destroyed."

Cao Cao was shocked: "Why did my father say this?"

Cao Song drank a cup of himself: "In the past, Dong Zhuo was chaotic, the world was divided, and the Han Dynasty was difficult to fall, you sat in Yanzhou, plotted a place, and did something, but since Zhang Wenyuan started in the north, after welcoming the Son of Heaven, he was good at managing the government, promoting talents, quelling rebellions, and benefiting the people, and the Han Dynasty has the hope of rejuvenation, and the world has the trend of unification.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Father is worried, I came to the court to support the society, and I have no other intentions."

Cao Song snorted: "I just hope so, your slaughter of the city in Xuzhou is really not done by people."

……

At night, in Luoyang City, Zhang Liao's mansion, after some clouds and rain, Zhang Liao was still full of interest in holding Diao Chan.

Diao Chan couldn't stand it anymore and begged for mercy, but in exchange for Zhang Liao's greater interest.

After another cloud and rain, Diao Chan lightly beat Zhang Liao, and said hatefully: "General, the servant is going to die."

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "It's all because your voice is too beautiful, which makes General Ben want to stop."

Diao Chan was ashamed and buried his head in Zhang Liao's arms.

Zhang Liao stroked her snow-white satin-like skin, and her breathing became heavy again.

Diao Chan naturally sensed his reaction and hurriedly changed the topic: "General, tell the concubine why you want to welcome Cao Cao's big thief."

Zhang Liao also knew that she couldn't stand it, so he smiled, hugged her and followed her topic: "Cao Mengde, the hero of the world, although I am not ashamed of some of his actions, I also admire his arms and talents, this time I will have a plan in the court, and he is here just right."

Diao Chan just wanted to divert Zhang Liao's attention, and was not interested in Cao Cao, so he casually asked another doubt in his heart: "Dong Cheng has repeatedly opposed the general, why does the general keep him?"

"Huh?" Zhang Liao glanced at Diao Chan's curious eyes, couldn't help but pinch her chest angrily, and said with a smile: "Dong Cheng is the uncle of the country, keep him, first, to leave a margin between him and the Son of Heaven, and secondly, to come...... People have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, not to mention that it is the son of heaven, it is necessary to take precautions and leave a back road, Dong Cheng is a back road. ”

"Dong Cheng is the back road? The servant didn't understand. Diao Chan resisted Zhang Liao's big hand.

Zhang Liao shook his head and flicked her nose: "You don't need to understand this." ”

Looking at Diao Chan's hazy beautiful eyes, he turned over and pressed it again.

It was another rain in the house.

……

On the second day, as soon as Zhang Liao got up and freshened up, he received a letter, and after reading the letter, he couldn't help frowning.

The letter came from Xuzhou.

Things turned out to be like in history, after Lu Bu fled to Xuzhou, he was taken in by Liu Bei, and then Yuan Shu led a large army to attack Xuzhou, Liu Bei left Zhang Fei to garrison Xiapi, and he and Guan Yu met Yuan Shu, and the two armies held each other in Xuyi and Huaiyin in the southwest of Xuzhou, and won and lost each other.

Not wanting the local forces in Xuzhou in the rear to rebel, Cao Bao, the minister of Xiapi, and Zhonglang secretly greeted Lu Bu with Xu Tan and Sima Zhangji, and the Danyang soldiers rebelled and opened the city gate, Lu Bu and Cao Bao defeated Zhang Fei and captured Liu Bei's wife, concubine, children and their families.

After this change, most of the Xuzhou soldiers under Liu Bei were scattered, and they were also defeated by Yuan Shu, and they had nowhere to go, so they came to Luoyang.

Zhang Liao quickly judged that Lu Bu was most likely in collusion with Yuan Shu, even though he had persuaded him many times, this guy still acted in a completely disorderly manner, and it was rare to get out of the casual and reckless style of light heroes.

After two years of development, Guanzhong has become more and more stable, and Luoyang has gradually come to life, and it is time for its strategic goals to turn outward.

Although in the past two years, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have been crying poverty and respecting the imperial court, and it is difficult to find excuses to crusade, but Zhang Liao has a way to give them the opportunity to take the initiative to find trouble.

……

Outside the East Gate of Luoyang, Zhang Liao greeted him here again, but this time it was not Cao Cao, but Liu Bei.

Standing there, Zhang Liao couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan are now all concentrated by themselves, this thing is really wonderful, presumably the historical pattern of the Three Kingdoms will never appear again, too, since he is here, how can he allow him to divide the Three Kingdoms.

However, except for Sun Quan, who is still a little kid, the other two, whether Cao Cao or Liu Bei, are old foxes, and their ambitions are not small.

Liu Bei is better, he always acts in the name of benevolence and righteousness, in any case, there is some bottom line, and Cao Cao's bottom line is very low, and it is more ruthless, it can be seen from his slaughter of the city and the extermination of the clan, this Liu Bei has never done.

However, the two have one thing in common, both of them are heroes, and they have a big city, which is not easy to control.

While thinking about it, I saw a team of about 1,000 people coming from afar.

The three horses galloped out, it was Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but the mood of the three was quite low, this time they were forced to be homeless, and even their families were lost, which was really embarrassing.

After dismounting, Liu Bei came in step and saluted first: "Liu Bei has seen the hussar general."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed to salute.

Zhang Liao hurriedly helped them up: "In the past, Jinlan was righteous, why should the three brothers be so polite."

Liu Bei's expression was complicated, and he sighed ashamedly: "I don't want to fall here."

Zhang Liao also sighed: "I really didn't expect this to happen in Xuzhou, I will send someone to Xuzhou to bring my sister-in-law and family members."

Liu Bei nodded: "There is Lao Wenyuan."

Zhang Fei on the side said angrily: "Hate Lu Bupifu, ungrateful, the eldest brother treats him as a guest, but he recaptured Xuzhou, I swear to kill him!" The fourth brother must not help him when he arrives, otherwise you and I will meet on the battlefield!"

"Third brother!" Liu Bei and Guan Yu shouted at him in unison.

Zhang Fei also knew that he was speechless, and he actually cried: "My eldest brother asked me to guard Xuzhou, I lost Xuzhou, and I lost my brother and sister-in-law, and I felt aggrieved!"

"The third brother doesn't have to blame himself." Zhang Liao comforted: "The loss of Xuzhou, although there is Lu Fengxian's betrayal, but since Tao Gongzu let Xuzhou, the root of the curse has been buried."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said in unison: "What does the fourth brother mean by this? Could it be that Tao Gongzu framed his brother? ”

Zhang Liao sighed: "In the past, Yanzhou welcomed Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou, and soon rebelled, Yinglu Feng was first the pastor of Yanzhou, and then Tao Qian let Xuzhou, Xuzhou Ying's brother was Xuzhou Mu, and now Xuzhou is also rebellious, and Yinglu Fengxian is Xuzhou Mu, it is the same, it is not accidental."

Zhang Fei asked loudly: "Why do you all welcome Lu Bu's husband, could it be that he really has the long tongue of Su Qin and Zhang Yi?"

Zhang Liao smiled and said: "Su Qin Zhang Yi is not Feng Xian's style, his style is brainless, sword-like, and easy to use, in fact, the real rebels are the Hao clans of Yan and Xu Prefectures, and they greet Feng Xian just because Feng Xian is better left and right."

What Zhang Liao didn't say in the subtext was that Yanzhou and Xuzhou were located in the Central Plains, and the wealthy clans were powerful, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei were not the masters who were manipulated by the local tyrants, and sooner or later they would suppress the interests of the tyrants, and those tycoons also saw it, so they took advantage of the fact that their foundation was not solid, and ushered in Lu Bu, who was easier to control.

Although Lu Bu is extraordinary, his brain is far less powerful than these cunning places, and in his previous life, he is equivalent to the kind of person who is stupid, has a lot of money, and is easy to deceive.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were thoughtful when they heard this, while Liu Bei's face remained unchanged, he should have felt this a long time ago.
