February passed quietly in the spring cold, and in the blink of an eye, the temperature began to warm up in March. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban has been beaten back to Qingzhou, Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's strategy, and pushed the troops to Qingzhou along the battle, everything went quite smoothly, and this big victory naturally spread in Yanzhou and became the talk of the wine shop and tea house.

At the beginning of March, Yuan Shao, who had been preparing to attack, also sent troops to Qingzhou to attack the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and at the same time, Liu Bei, the minister of the plains, and Kong Rong of the Beihai Kingdom attacked inside and outside, defeating the Yellow Turban Army led by Guan Hai, and Guan Yu also killed Guan Hai in front of the battle.

The situation has gradually become clear, originally suddenly, the situation of the million yellow turbans has taken a sharp turn, and the phenomenon of large-scale collapse has begun, and on the eleventh day, Cao Cao suddenly returned to Juye from the front line, with the momentum that has settled down, and recruited Gongsun Zhi to the official office, when he came, most of the strategists in the palace gathered together to discuss.

“…… Yuan Benchu's strategists were not short-sighted, and at this time, they suddenly raised troops, and they were already eyeing the land of Qingzhou......"

“…… Since the lord planned to tear his face with Yuan Shao, it was better to fight. ”

"No! Yanzhou is not stable, how can he compete with Yuan Shao now, he Jizhou has enough grain and grass, and the soldiers and armor are complete, and the soldiers and horses I brought from Dongjun are difficult to compete. ”

“…… Yuan Shao didn't dare to make a big move at this moment, after all, there was still a white horse general in the north. ”

"Hugh wants to live before I Cao Cao's foundation, but I will never spit it out after eating a few cities in Qingzhou, this matter will never give in, Wen Ruo, Qingzhou's millions of yellow turbans have been secretly believed in me, and I want to surrender, I will go over again in the near future, appease his heart, as for how to settle, you will do it!"

……

The sound of discussion in the hall continued, Gongsun Zhi sat in the side room and waited, for the words that came from the middle of the air over there, intermittently, he probably heard it clearly, the desperate Qingzhou Yellow Turban was ready to surrender, and Yuan Shao's forces also began to touch that side, obviously Cao Cao also felt the huge pressure, and this time he was recruited over, presumably also related to this aspect.

The door creaked and opened.

One foot stepped in, but it was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old who strode in, sat down opposite Gongsun Zhi with a big thorn, not afraid of the fierce aura on the other party's body, and even grinned boldly, and the shallow stubble on the side of his mouth showed that this young man was changing towards maturity.

"My name is Cao Ang, I heard that the leader of Gongsun is a murderer on the grassland, and there is a white wolf by his side, why don't you bring it today? In the past, I hunted a few in the mountains, but I had never seen a white one, so it must be very powerful and majestic, right? ”

Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, his mother Liu died early, raised by the main Ding family, and was taken by Cao Cao when he became an adult.

When he spoke, he was quite polite, and his face did not have any discoloration of Gongsun Zhi's identity, but was filled with joy, and he smiled heartily: "Occasionally, I heard the generals in the army say that the grassland is vast, and the barbarians there often raid the border Han people, and only by killing Hu like the leader of Gongsun can he be called a hero." ”

"The white wolf around me was lost in Jizhou, but I want to stay in the mountains in the future, if I have a fate in the future, I can still see it......" Gongsun Zhi was only three or four years older than this young man, looked at each other with interest, and then said: "But when it comes to heroes, the eldest prince said a little early, how big the world is, how can heroes be like me, wandering around." ”

Cao Ang touched his shallow beard and nodded, then shook his head again: "...... In Ang's eyes, those who fight inwardly are not heroes. ”

In the sound of such words, footsteps sounded outside, Cao Cao was talking to a weak and pale face of the literati, the latter nodded and left, then opened the door and came in, seeing that his son was also inside, Cao Ang stood up and arched his hand and said: "The father is busy, and the child does not want to neglect the distinguished guests, so he will come to accompany him first, and since the father has arrived, the child will leave first." ”

Cao Cao, who came in, just smiled on his face and strode in, waving his hand: "Good job, let's go out first." The latter bowed his hand to Gongsun again, and went out to leave, closing the door casually.

"Ziyu didn't say anything, did he?" Cao Cao walked to Cao Ang's position just now and sat down, and Gongsun Zhi shook his head: "Gongzi Ang didn't say anything, and his words were more modest and polite." ”

"My son is good at everything, but he is too modest, maybe he was brought by his mother since he was a child, and he has some influence, so I often take him in the army to make him a man." Cao Cao personally took the wine vessel and poured it over, although he was a little dissatisfied with the words, but his love for this son had already been revealed from the smile on the corner of his mouth, and then, the wine was handed over: "Drink it first." ”

The wine fell into the utensils and splashed the water stains, he poured himself the wine, looked over after a while, and said straightforwardly: "...... Millions of Qingzhou have entered my urn. ”

"Congratulations to Cao Yanzhou!"

"But I'm ...... It takes time. ”

The dim candlelight reflected on the faces of the two people, flickering and dimming

********************************

The light of day was walking, it was past lunch time, located on a street outside the post house, Wei Zhongdao sat in the carriage and lifted the corner of the light blue curtain, looked at the door of the post house opposite and frowned. During this time, the things that came to be done were also handed over to the people below, and he had been staying in this vicinity, occasionally seeing women and men coming out of it, but there were dozens of companions around him, and there was no chance to get close.

However, today, the thief went out alone, presumably Cai Yan stayed alone in the post house, he had a chance, and after waiting for two or three hours, he didn't see the man come back, Wei Zhongdao took a deep breath and prepared to get out of the car.

After taking a few steps, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

"This brother, your carriage has been coming every day, and it has been almost half a month, what is there in this post house that makes you insist so much?" The man who came was dressed in a short beat, his exposed chest showed black hair, he was tall and thin, and he looked to be in his thirties.

Wei Zhongdao frowned, and when the nearby servant rushing up, he turned his head to look at the other party: "What do you have to do with ......?"

Before the words were finished, there was a muffled crack.

An old fist slammed into Junxiu's face, and a tooth with blood flew out of the unclosed mouth, and several servants around him suddenly exploded and rushed towards the man.

I don't know when there were a few more people beside the man, and they waved their fists at those family members with their bare hands, and in a blink of an eye, the originally fierce and vicious people had fallen to the ground and shrunk up and wailed. Xu Heizi's eyes were cold: "If you want to stay on my wife again, I'll fucking gouge out your dog's eyes." ”

"Thief ......" Wei Zhongdao covered his cheeks, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and cursed secretly, but he was not afraid of the other party, ignoring the wailing servants, and went straight to the post house over there, and when the evil man behind him chased after him, he shouted inside: "Cai Yan-"

Then, he kicked him in the middle of the back, kicking him to the ground, this kick Xu Heizi has already left his strength, for the weak scholar to run away, and killing people in someone else's city will cause trouble to the leader.

Wei Zhongdao groaned. After groaning a few times, he got up again, and at this time he was quite embarrassed, standing in front of the stone steps and continuing to make a voice inside: "Cai Yan! I'm Nakado, come out and see me-"

The two guards in front of the post house wanted to step forward to stop them, but their bodies were suddenly squeezed to the left and right, and a bearded man came out of it with a hideous look: "If you shout and scream again, I will kill you-"

"Come on—"

The scholar also blushed, stiffening his neck and not being afraid of the other party. Hua Xiong smiled, and directly pulled out a brand-new ring-headed knife from his waist: "This requires Geng to be upright, I have never heard of it...... Yes! Then I'll give you a ride! ”

The blade of the knife was pulled out of the sheath with a bang, and the wide steps crossed the threshold and walked over, and behind him, a slender figure dressed in plain white and combing a woman's bun walked over and spoke: "Leader Hua, stop it......"

On the other side, the figure under the stone steps laughed and took two steps forward, "Akihime...... Akihime ...... It's me, I'm Nakado......"

Hua Xiong, who stopped his hand, knew that his wife and the scholar still knew each other, but he immediately realized that something was wrong, looking at the scholar's expression, I was afraid that there were some problems in it...... Cai Yan walked to the door, looked at the big man beside him who wanted to speak and stopped, and finally his eyes were still on Wei Zhongdao below.

Red lips gradually open.

“…… I know it's you. ”

Wei Zhongdao was overjoyed and stepped forward excitedly, but he was stopped in the middle by the knife, and shouted through the weapon: "Then you go back with me, this is Yanzhou, no one dares to do anything to you, as long as you go back with me, I won't care about all the past." ”

The lowered eyelashes blinked, the bright eyes lifted, and then the body slowly bowed: "Zhao Ji was originally your wife, but ...... There are some things that are not just married by the Ming media, and now there is only one person in Zhaoji's heart, and the past marriage has long been forgotten......"

"No...... No......" Wei Zhongdao's smile froze, and after muttering a few times, he still roared: "Is it that thief who forced you...... You say...... You name it, I'll kill him-"

The dozens of wolf riders guarding the post house around them burst out laughing, as if this was the funniest thing they had ever heard in their lives, Pan Feng leaned on the window upstairs and shouted to the scholar: "This brother, you better leave quickly." ”

"Akihime is sorry for you......"

In the midst of the laughter, Cai Yan whispered, and then she straightened up, and her words were neat: "Now that I am a wife, please go, don't come again." ”

On this street, the breeze, the sun, pedestrians, laughter, the thin body shook, lowered his head and clenched his fists, and his voice was low: "Originally, I didn't want to be like this...... I thought that if I begged you, you would go back with me...... I just can't imagine that a thief can enter your heart...... Akihime ...... You're too cheap. ”

"What did you say—"

Hua Xiong and the others were also furious, and at the same time as dozens of wolves around them drew their swords, more than a hundred figures came out of the wine shops near the street, rushing to this side to gather behind Wei Zhongdao, most of these people were holding sticks, and some of them were holding swords.

The two sides confronted each other with tension, and then rushed forward, trying to snatch the woman away.

………

Juye Mansion.

The conversation continued to come from inside, and in the candlelight, Cao Cao spread out a map behind the long case.

"Everyone in this world wants to fight, he Yuan originally thought, Yuan Shu in Huainan also wanted it, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Yan in Yizhou they all wanted to ...... Does the Gongsun chief also want to? ”

Gongsun looked at him: "Don't you want Gong Cao?" ”

"Think-"

Clapped his hand on the map, holding down the words "Kyushu in the world", the figure behind the long case raised his head, his eyes were like eagles: "I don't want to be a villain, but who is in chaos in the world?" It's not the Yellow Turban, it's not Dong Zhuo, it's Yuan Shao, if he hadn't privately instigated He Jin to lure the wolf into the room, the world would be like this? ”

“…… I want to fight in this world, and I will continue to be my Hanchen, what about you? Cao Cao pressed his hands on the table, and his voice came slowly: "...... might as well come together, we will sweep the world and Kyushu, and you will guard my Han people, be the general of the expedition to the west, and plant the banner of my Han people on the grassland and into farther countries. ”

“…… Together? ”

"Yes, together!" Cao Cao stood up and raised his hands over the wine buds: "...... You will be the wolf king of the grassland, so that the alien race will no longer have the courage to go south, okay? ”

In the silence, footsteps outside the door sounded quickly, and someone hurriedly said: "Lord, there is a fight over there in the post house, and someone is attacking the family of the leader of Gongsun......

"How's that over there?" Cao Cao walked over and opened the door, looking at the visitor: "...... Can you find out who it is? ”

"It's Hedong...... The ...... of the Hedong Wei family Wei Zhongdao. The guard lowered his voice and glanced at the figure walking inside. Cao Cao pursed his lips, turned around and patted the shoulder of the figure who came over, and said in a deep voice: "...... Let go and do it, Cai Yan is also my niece, and I will take care of everything. ”

"It's okay to kill people in the city?" Gongsun Zhi's face was expressionless.

Cao Cao strode inside and waved his robe sleeves: "In troubled times, use talent without virtue, kill at will——"
