Chapter 4: Cao Cao's Messenger

Cao Cao's messenger is also Gao Ye's old acquaintance. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Yingchuan Xunda, the one who bent the law for personal gain in order to save Xu Shu so that he Lao Tzu Xunchen, who is now known as a clean and strict law, has bent the law for personal gain, after coming out of the academy, he has worked in Cao Ying's camp for so many years, and now he has finally entered Cao Cao's eyes.

As soon as he entered the high night of the living room, when he saw that it was Xun Da, he was chatting with Xu Shu, who came back first. The two have been friends for many years, and Xun Da still has a life-saving grace for Xu Shu. Especially after Xu Shu was sent to Qingzhou, Xun Da went to visit Xu Shu's old mother every month. This time, he came and not only brought Cao Cao's letter to Gao Ye, the court's commendation of Qingzhou personnel, but also Xu Shu's family letter. As long as he looked at Xu Shu's red eyes and the envelope that had not yet been opened, Gao Ye smiled and let Xu Shu retreat first. It is undoubtedly a great torture for a dutiful son like him to hold his mother's family letter in his hand but not be able to read it.

There were only two people left in the living room, Gao Ye and Xun Da, especially in front of Gao Ye, Xun Da didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and he became silent for a while. In fact, there is no way, the Taishou Mansion is just an office place, but now that the war has just ended, those generals are all busy counting their achievements. As for the civil officials, they are even more busy with their feet, after all, in the new land of the three counties, there are not only many government affairs, but also miscellaneous, even Chen Qun has not slept well for several days, so you can imagine what other subordinate officials under Gao Ye will be busy. This is also why in the main hall, the officials and officials who come and go go straight into the traffic, and the living room is sparsely populated, and even the subordinates are left to serve.

Xun Da had already bowed down when he came in at night. Now sitting at the bottom of Gao Ye, he looks high-spirited, and even reminds Gao Ye of what he looked like back then, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun. Thinking of this, Gao Ye suddenly smiled and shook his head, secretly saying that he was really old, how could he still envy their youth when he saw them. I am only thirty-five, and in the next life, it is the time to make great progress, maybe I became famous too early, and it is really easy to accelerate aging.

Seeing Gao Ye looking at him, Xun Da was relieved, but he didn't say a word until now, so he arched his hand first: "Sir, I'm here to ...... this time" Xun Da's words just spoke, but was interrupted by Gao Ye: "Yuan Zhi's family letter, you brought it?" You and Yuan Zhi are also close friends, so it is only right to do so. I've also heard that you often visit Moto's mother, which is good. When Gao Ye said this, the conversation suddenly changed: "It's just that you don't go for the beautiful daughter-in-law of other people's Yuanzhi, right?" ”

Speaking of Xu Shu's daughter-in-law, even Gao Ye felt that it was Zhuang Qiyuan. He married someone else, it was the youngest daughter of Qiao Gong, who was pulled by Cai Yong from Jiangdong to repair books together, and he didn't even think of it. This matter is also a legend in the academy, a kid from a poor family has not only been valued by Gao Ye, but also greatly cultivated. also let a big family like the Qiao family willingly marry his daughter to him. Although Gao Ye didn't know exactly how the two of them hooked up together, there were as many as five or six versions circulating in the academy alone. Some of the storylines are so wonderful that Gao Ye even wondered if it was the novelist's protΓ©gΓ© under him, specially arranged, and it was circulated in the academy anyway, and it was very marketable.

But no matter what, the result is that Xu Shu has won the beauty, which can be described as a double harvest in love and career. And you must know that Xiao Qiao's sister Da Qiao, his husband is on an errand under Gao Ye at this time, the Cao family's thousand-mile horse Cao Xiu Cao Wenlie. Xu Shu and Cao Xiu have now become brothers-in-law, and they can be regarded as relatives of the old Cao family, plus Gao Ye's support, and now there are signs of becoming a dog-headed military advisor under Cao Ang. His future career will be smooth sailing, which can already be expected.

Xun Da listened to Gao Ye joke about himself, and he also smiled and said: "Sir, it's not that I don't know me, am I Xun Da that kind of person!" It's a pity that my Xun Da didn't have such good luck that Xiang Yuanzhi could marry such a good wife as Qiao's. Dignified and virtuous, not to mention the downfall and generosity, even the children gave birth to three to Yuan Zhi. Unlike me, who has no children under his knees until now, and has been counted down by his father all day long, alas, ......"

Gao Ye immediately laughed when he heard this, and said, "Your husband and I are both thirty-five, don't we have a third child under our knees?" You, you don't even have twenty-five, what's the hurry? ”

"Isn't it like I don't have one, but if I have a son, my father will not be like now, just urging me all day long, and the concubine has even given me several rooms, alas......"

"You, don't shy away from the doctor, let's go to Mr. Hua Tuo and let him give you a good treatment. After all, your father is just a son like you, and he still expects you to pass on the ancestry, and be considerate and considerate of the old man's thoughts. ”

When Xun Da heard this, he could only smile bitterly and nodded, and then listened to Gao Ye and said, "Okay, I'll set up a banquet for you in the evening to catch the wind and wash the dust." Let's save this gossip for the banquet in the evening. Let's talk about the business first, the reward for meritorious deeds is nothing more than a will, and a few idle things can be accomplished. But the lord sent you this time, I'm afraid it's not just to reward me for your meritorious deeds. ”

Xun Da heard that Gao Ye asked about the matter, then sat upright and arched his hand: "What Mr. said is very true, the lord was not prepared to send me. Originally, the lord planned to send a messenger to read the will, discuss the reward for meritorious deeds, and then let the gentleman return to Yingdu temporarily. After all, the eldest prince's wedding date is approaching, and both the lord and Wen Hou hope that Mr. can go back, and the lord seems to have a lot of things to discuss with him. ”

"Oh? In that case, why did you suddenly send you again? Isn't something going on again? ”

"Exactly." Hearing this, Xun Da nodded heavily and said, "Hebei Yuan Shao has moved." When I set off in mid-July, Guo Xijiu had already received the news that the entire Jizhou was gathering troops, and it seemed that he was only afraid that he was going to fight openly with the Lord. I went all the way, and the messengers kept coming, all of which were Hebei news. It is now the beginning of August, and judging from the current intelligence, Yuan Shao has gathered an army of nearly 500,000, and he is afraid that he will threaten Dongjun in the near future. The lord is also gathering troops and horses now, and let me come, on the one hand, to bring the lord's secret letter to Mr., and secondly, because I know more things, so it is convenient for Mr. to ask. ”

Gao Ye nodded when he heard this, and said, "Where is the secret letter?" ”

Xun Da hurriedly handed the letter to Gao Ye. Gao Ye didn't shy away from it, he opened it directly and read it at a glance. However, it is a secret letter, and the content of it is not what Gao Ye expected, it is nothing more than to let himself guard Qingzhou well, so as to help him contain the enemy in the east. He even told himself that once the war began, he would find a fighter on his own, and he would not have to report everything, as long as he could contain Yuan Shao's energy, there would be no problem. At the beginning of the letter, it was normal, and it was nothing more than an assignment. It's just that in the second half, it made Gao Ye cry and laugh, Cao Cao actually praised his daughter Cao Jie in the letter, and finally bluntly said that he wanted to marry her to his eldest son.

Gao Ye read the letter, and he knew in his heart that now he has so much power in Qingzhou, although his family is all in Yingdu, but after all, it is the last resort. In contrast, marriages are much more peaceful and friendly. Gao Ye knew in his heart that this time, he was afraid that he would have no reason to refuse. There is no market for free love in this world, and marriage is all on the orders of parents, and it is not to say that I am sorry for my children. Besides, if the marriage is successful, it will be good for everyone, and Cao Jie, the girl, knows that although she is only five years old now, judging from the history books of later generations, she is a strange woman. Such a woman marrying her son who is out of nature is also a good match. It's just that what really worries Gao Ye is that the relationship between him and Cao Cao has reached the point where he has to rely on marriage to maintain stability?

Gao Ye thought of this, and his brows tightened. It seems that after fighting this battle, I can't say that I have to stop in Yingdu for three or five years. But it's also a pleasure to be able to accompany your wife and children and teach in Yingchuan Academy! Thinking of this, Gao Ye's brows suddenly stretched, and he said to Xun Da: "Now that the war is imminent, I'm afraid that I will have to start arming the war." Yuan Tan has already been sent to Yingdu by me, and I don't know who will fight against me this time......"

Xun Da interjected: "According to the detailed report, Yuan Shao has transferred his son Yuan Xi from Youzhou to the plains, but the more detailed military situation is not known. But if you want to come to the enemy, it must be this person. ”

Gao Ye nodded when he heard this: "It's actually Yuan Xi, this kid is not as good as his brother." By the way, Zitong, has Yingdu been too peaceful recently? ”

Xun Da hesitated when he heard this, and said, "It's still peaceful." Originally, the old ministers of the court and the central government were negative about the lord's resistance to Yuan Shao. However, a good news from the gentleman came to Beijing, and all these people died down. Coupled with Mr. Wenhe's conspiracies, after His Majesty and hundreds of civil and military officials hunted in the suburbs of Yingjiao, the old ministers of the court and the central government are now even more silent. Now above the court, there is no objection to facing Yuan Shao. ”

Gao Ye couldn't help but smile when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the hunting incident still happened. However, it is not unnecessary, and it is not unnecessary to deter the old ministers of the DPRK and China with this incident. It's just that if this incident continues to develop according to history, presumably the incident of the heroes of the green plum cooking wine will also happen. What's next? It seems that Yuan Shu went north to seek refuge in Yuan Shao and was defeated by Liu Bei. Liu Bei then beheaded the car and took Xuzhou. He was later defeated by Cao Cao and switched to Yuan Shao. But now it's August, although the hunting still happened, but judging from the timeline, it has been completely out of harmony with history, half a year late, so it won't happen all the events in turn.

But there is no big mistake in being careful, I can't say it myself, I still have to remind Cao Cao through Xun Da's mouth. Liu Bei himself knows too well, if he stays in Yingdu, the world will be able to calm down at least ten years early. Once he is allowed to escape, there will be endless troubles! Therefore, Gao Ye said solemnly: "Zitong, I have an urgent matter, I want you to go back and report to the lord, you must remember it." ”
