At the beginning of February, after Xiang Ao roughly cleaned up the rebels in the plains, he rushed back to Wuyuan with the imperial edict.

It's been two months since I passed, which really made Cai Yan worry and miss. Xiang Ao returned to Wuyuan and was very happy to see his wife and children who had been separated for a long time. The time to leave was not too long, and there was not too much backlog of political affairs in the Northern Regions, so Xiang Ao quickly dealt with it.

Xiang Ao's previous exploits in recapturing Madame Fan's city, the imperial court had not yet had time to reward him, and Xiang Ao had made great contributions. If it weren't for Xiang Ao's promise to the imperial court that he would be willing to Yongzhen Frontier and would not enter the court, I am afraid that he would already be a master of high merit at this time. Even so, there are still people in the DPRK and China who are obstructing it, otherwise Xiang Ao's reward would have been conveyed long ago. Among them, the most resistant is He Jin, Xiang Ao has become a general of Wei at this time, and he is the only champion Hou of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The excellence of his military exploits has caught up with the sages.

And He Jin is only a general at this time, and Xiang Ao must be slightly higher than Xiang Ao, if Xiang Ao is allowed to get a reward normally, I am afraid that his position as a general will not be guaranteed. So even if Liu Hong favored Xiang Ao, He Jin still fought on the basis of reason, and even did not hesitate to put down his body and join the eunuchs to suppress Xiang Ao.

But even so, Xiang Ao is so great that the world knows that if he doesn't give a reward, it will also chill the minds of people with lofty ideals in the world, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee will not allow it. As a result, for months, every morning court would argue about this matter.

At this time, in the unknown Baibo Valley in Xihe County, tens of thousands of people had gathered, with yellow scarves on their heads.

Baibo Valley is located at the junction of Xihe County, Hedong County and Taiyuan County, and most of them are in Xihe. There are many mountains and forests here, there are close to Fenshui, extremely secret, there are many wild beasts in the mountains, fresh fruits also abound, can be picked everywhere, it is a good place to escape.

The Baibo Valley is huge, accommodating hundreds of thousands of people and not being crowded, let alone tens of thousands. Makeshift tents can be found everywhere in the valley, and many young and strong cats hunt wild beasts on their waists, women pick fresh fruits at the edge of the valley, and children play among the tents.

At this time, in the central tent in the valley, there were five people discussing around the map.

"Qu Shuai, the last general thinks that he can attack Taiyuan first." Yang Feng pointed to the Jinyang City of Taiyuan on the map and said: "The north of Taiyuan is sparsely populated, only Yanmen County, to the south is Daling, Pingtao, Jingling, Zhongdu and other cities, as long as the Wuyi army captures many counties near Zhaoyuze, we can use this as a base, attack Shangdang, Hedong, coerce Luoyang, kill the faint monarch Liu Hong and treacherous eunuchs, and change the dynasty." ”

"General Yang!" Han Xian frowned and said: "The last general thinks that if there is no such person as Xiang Ao in the northern Xinjiang, according to General Yang, we will achieve something." ”

"However, there are many generals in the Northern Regions Protectorate, and Xiang Ao is also capable of fighting well, if the Han Court orders the Northern Regions Protectorate to quell the rebellion, we are afraid that we will be attacked by the enemy!"

"What General Han said is very true!" Mrs. Guo looked at Yutu, especially staring at Wuyuan for a long time and never looked away.

"Qu Shuai doesn't know!" Yang Feng said indifferently: "The DPRK and the central government have made a detailed report, General Wei Xiang Ao has too much credit, I am afraid that this time I will not be able to send troops to quell the rebellion of my righteous army!" ”

"Oh?! How so? ”

"Qu Shuai, Xiang Ao has moved to the general of the guard before quelling the rebellion, and he has been named the champion Hou. A year ago, he broke the northern line and marched west to the Qiang people, and a month ago he assisted Gongsun Zhan to break Zhang Chun and other rebels. ”

Mrs. Guo frowned, pondered for a moment and asked, "Let's talk about it carefully!" ”

"No!" Yang Feng straightened his clothes slightly, and said with a very determined look: "At this time, the head of the military generals in the Han Court is the general He Jin. Who is here? is the current queen's own brother, Qu Shuai thinks that if Xiang Ao has been so meritorious, what will happen to He Jin? ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said a little dimly: "Even if the imperial court does not issue an edict to let Xiang Ao send troops, if Xiang Ao sends troops privately, as long as he hugs me and destroys us, it is possible." ”

"Qu Shuai doesn't have to worry, Xiang Ao has received an edict from the imperial court before and guards the frontier for life. If he sent troops privately, what did Qu Shuai think would happen to He Jin and the others? Yang Feng said confidently: "Xiang Ao has never been able to break through to the championship, An Neng doesn't know how to be tired of being in the middle of the court, such a smart champion Hou will wade into this troubled water?" ”

"Besides, Xianbei began to appear frequently in Northern Xinjiang a few years ago, although he did not use troops, but Qu Shuai thinks Xianbei will always be so reluctant?"

"The Xiliang rebels have been undefeated, holding back a lot of Luoyang troops, if we don't send troops at this time, when will we wait?"

"What will happen to Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain who has been appeased on Taihang Mountain?"

"Qu Shuai rest assured, a few days ago, he wrote to Zhang Yan and got Zhang Yan's promise: not to participate in many struggles!"

The more she analyzed, the more relieved Mrs. Guo became, and the more excited she became. Even Han Xian, who was worried, was overjoyed, not to mention Li Le and Hu Cai, who were on the side, and their blood swelled when they heard it!

"Wait!" Guo Tai, who recovered from the excitement, suddenly shouted: "Although there are not many soldiers in Yanmen County, I heard that there is a fierce general named Lu Bu, and people give him the nickname Feijiang!" What if Yanmen raises troops to attack? ”

"What can the fierce general do, although there are only tens of thousands of my righteous army at this time, as long as Qu Shuai raises his arms and shouts, the old department of my Yellow Turban will definitely gather in response in the past, and it is not simple to gather 100,000 righteous troops in an instant? 100,000 foot soldiers, even if one person can drown the so-called flying general with a mouthful of foam! ”

"Haha... General Yang is talented! When Mrs. Guo heard this, he laughed and said: "With the help of General Yang, the Yijun will win this battle!" ”

"Qu Shuai praises falsely!" Yang Feng said modestly, but the slight smugness in his eyes could not be concealed.

"General Yang, General Han, General Li, General Hu!"

"The last general!"

"On the first day of the first month of March, at the behest of Huang Tian, we raised an army against the Han Dynasty!"

"No!"

There are still more than ten days before the agreed date, Guo Tai ordered everyone to contact the remaining yellow turbans in Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hedong and other places, and inform them that it is the day of anti-Han Dynasty, and when the time comes, the four counties will oppose with lightning speed, raise troops to attack Taiyuan, and must take Taiyuan before the Han court can react.

Even with Xiang Ao's large number of caravans, the news could not be discovered, and the Baibo Valley rebels waited for the arrival of the first day of the third month without anyone knowing. Xiang Ao, who didn't know it, still handled government affairs every day and accompanied his wife and children. Occasionally, he learned martial arts with major generals in the army and practiced soldiers and horses. Always ready to go into battle.

It is also peculiar, Xiang Ao's son Xiang Ping is not too old, but he can speak freely, and many of the classics that Xiang Ao recited with Xiang Ping are also memorized. Although it was impossible to pronounce it accurately in some places due to his lack of age, it amazed the officials and relatives of the Northern Regions. Xiang Ping was even more able to stand on his own and toddler, if it weren't for Xiang Ao's worry that it would affect Xiang Ping's growth and limit his walking time, I am afraid that Xiang Ping would have been running around in Wuyuan City.

In this way, all the civil servants in the Northern Regions were overjoyed with Xiang Ping. After dealing with political affairs in their spare time, everyone came to the General's Mansion to visit Xiang Ping. Especially Hu Zhao and Xizhong, they wrote a book of what they had learned in their lives and read it to Xiang Ping every day.

"Master, Master!" Xiang Ping came to Hua Tuo with staggering steps, giggling and shouting.

"Hey... Good boy grandson! Hua Tuo doted on Xiang Ping and asked, "Have you seen the "Pulse Sutra" Ping'er that Shi Gongjiao brought yesterday?" ”

"Ping'er look!" Xiang Ping gently grabbed Hua Tuo's beard and said, "But Master, why can these flowers and plants cure diseases?" ”

"Uh..." Hua Tuo was stunned for a moment, and shouted in his heart: How does the old man know why he can cure diseases, isn't it handed down by the sages?

"Ping'er will know it when she grows up!" Hua Tuo had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "Ping'er's father is here?" ”

"Father's in the back room! I just finished drawing Ping'er's "Analects"! ”

Hua Tuo put down Xiang Ping and said: "Ping'er went out to play by herself, and the master was looking for Ping'er's father!" ”

"Oh, well!" Xiang Ping looked unhappy and walked outside the house, and the two guards and two maids behind him hurriedly followed.

"Shizi, don't run around! Wait a minute! Although Xiang Ping is smart, he is too naughty, as long as he is awake, he never stops, but he is busy with a few people who take care of Xiang Ping.

"Fengyuan!"

"Teacher!" Xiang Ao saw Hua Tuo enter the room, put down the book in his hand and bowed: "Teacher, it's good to order someone to greet Ao if you have something, why do you have to come in person every time!" ”

Xiang Ao is also helpless to Hua Tuo, how to say that he is also his own teacher, every time it is like this, which makes Xiang Ao worried.

"Fengyuan works hard for the people, how can Fengyuan still work so hard as a teacher!" Hua Tuo was not polite, and beckoned Xiang Ao to sit down together. Xiang Ao didn't say much when he heard this, Xiang Ao had heard too much of these words recently, and he didn't feel it anymore!

"I don't know if the teacher came here today..."

"Fengyuan, why is the school built so big, is it good to give the teacher a thorough understanding today?" At first, Hua Tuo didn't think much about it, but he felt that it was a waste for not too many people to follow him to learn medical skills and occupy such a large house. It's just that Xiang Ao's various arrangements in recent years, Hua Tuo is a little worried.

Seeing Hua Tuo asking about this, Xiang Ao thought for a while and said solemnly: "Ao can tell the teacher, but the teacher must be tight-lipped!" ”

"Oh?!" Hearing this, Hua Tuo hurriedly sat upright, ready to listen.

"A school is definitely a school, and teachers don't have to think too much. It's just that Ao plans to do more than just medical skills in the future! ”

"What do you mean?!" Hua Tuo is also a smart person, Xiang Ao has a little guess in his heart, but he doesn't dare to confirm it.

"Now the saint is being coerced by treachery, and the power is next to his relatives and eunuchs. The families in various places are strong and forcibly expropriated, and the people are miserable. In Ao's view, all these are the monopoly of the family, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to form after Confucianism was monopolized. ”

"Ao Bucai, I want to be able to do my best to educate the people in my lifetime!"

"Boom !!" Although he only had one sentence to educate the people, it made Hua Tuo's head roar and his thoughts were confused. After about a cup of tea, Hua Tuo woke up.

"Fengyuan wants to challenge the family?"

"It's not a challenge, it's for the benefit of the people! For the benefit of the world! ”

"Can Fengyuan know that this road is difficult?"

"It's hard to climb to the sky!"

Hua Tuo looked at Xiang Ao deeply, shocked and speechless. Pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, snatching the child from the tiger's den!

"Kong Ming, Zhicai can know?"

"Know!"

Hua Tuo was silent for a long time and sighed: "As a teacher, I am afraid that there are not many people who can help Fengyuan!" Before Xiang Ao could answer, Hua Tuo got up and laughed.

"Hahaha... Even if it is not much, the old decay will follow my disciples to break through in this world! ”

After laughing, Hua Tuo didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the house.
