The Yuan army that Gao Ran brought to Yanjin was only 500 people, and the size of the military camp was also very small.

His tent was set up in the middle of the barracks, guarded by dozens of tents in the center.

Inviting Cao Shuo into the tent, Gao Ran asked, "Your Excellency went to Yecheng to deliver the decree, are there only three people?" ”

"How is that possible?" Cao Shuo said: "I just went to Yecheng to see the world, and it was not me who really preached the message. ”

"Who is it?" Gao Ran asked.

"Will be a master craftsman." Cao Shuo replied.

"Beihai Ling Kong Rong?" Gao Ran asked again.

"Exactly."

"Why didn't I see him cross the river, but Your Excellency came first?"

Cao Shuo grinned: "Kong Jiangzuo is going to Yecheng to announce the decree, how can he let him do it in person?" ”

"Is Zunjia really the son of the Cao family?" Gao Ran was suspicious of Cao Shuo's identity.

Kong Rong couldn't even come to explore the way, how could the son of the Cao family risk his life.

"I'm Cao Shuo, the second lang of the Cao family." Cao Shuo asked, "Will anyone dare to pretend to be the Cao family?" ”

"The royal family has someone pretending, not to mention the son of the Cao family." Gao Ran said: "I just asked casually, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"Does the general think this place is too dangerous for me to come?" Cao Shuo asked.

Gao Ran was silent.

After all, this is not the Cao family's territory, and it couldn't be easier for him to kill Cao Shuo.

"Although I am a member of the Cao family, I am also a courtier of the Han Dynasty." Cao Shuo said: "It is a supreme honor to be able to deliver a decree for His Majesty. The father of the family and the Duke of Yuan were ministers in the same palace, and they were both Han people. The Cao and Yuan families worked together to defeat the traitor Dong Zhuo, and they repaired for many years, but there was no conflict with each other. I'm going to be missing a hair when I come here? ”

"Of course not!" Gao Ran said embarrassedly: "What did Childe say?" I just think it's really hard for Childe to come from afar and cross the river in person. ”

Cao Shuo grabbed the handle in his words, and in a fit of nervousness, Gao Ran even changed his name.

"Childe just said that he hasn't eaten yet." Afraid that Cao Shuo would be entangled in this topic, Gao Ran hurriedly diverted the conversation.

"I just cared about the road, and I really didn't have time to eat." Cao Shuo said: "If the general is inconvenient, I can go back to the other side to eat." ”

"Since you're here, how can you let your son go back to eat." Gao Ran said: "That's not hospitality. ”

He instructed the guards: "Pass the order, set up a banquet immediately, and I will catch the wind for my son." ”

"The general seems to be very bitter here, I'd better go back." Cao Shuo said.

"It's not bitter, there is wine and meat, I will accompany my son to drink and talk." Gao Ran said.

"There's not even a dancer, and you can't tell you how bitter it is?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Don't hide it from the general, if it is on the other side, General Qin Qi will definitely arrange for a dancer to dance and help the wine." ”

"Yanjin is a town." Gao Ran was even more embarrassed: "It's not difficult for him to find a dancer over there, but I am a military camp here, where can I find a dancer?" In addition to Yanjin, the nearest town also has to walk for most of the day. Find the dancer and come back, it's already tomorrow morning. ”

"I really don't care if there are dancers or not." Cao Shuo said: "I just said it casually, and the general should not take it to heart. ”

"If Childe is not too vulgar, I will let people have a banquet?" Gao Ran asked tentatively.

"Why didn't the general send someone to the other side to invite the dancers?" Cao Shuo asked suddenly.

Gao Ran was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Could it be that the general regards the Cao family as an enemy?" Cao Shuo said: "If it's not like this, how can it be so outside? ”

Cao Shuo seemed to ask unintentionally, which made Gao Ran sweat all over his spine.

"What did Childe say?" Gao Ran said embarrassedly: "Yanjin is on the other side, and it is not easy to cross the river. In order to invite the dancer, she also sent someone to Yanjin, which is really unreasonable. ”

"What General Gao said also makes sense." Cao Shuo said: "However, it is more convenient to cross the river than to go to other towns and cities to ask for people. ”

"If Childe finds the banquet boring, I'll let people go to the other side to invite the dancers to help entertain." Gao Ran said.

"How can that be?" Cao Shuo waved his hand again and again: "I'm not a person who can't even eat without a woman, General Gao does this, but it makes me ashamed!" ”

"That's how hospitality should be." Gao Ran instructed the guards: "Let people cross the river at once, and invite a few dancers to come over." ”

The guards exited the tent.

Cao Shuo also said hypocritically: "The general did this, so I really didn't know what to say." ”

Gao Ran said: "Childe is a guest from afar, and it should be like this. ”

Cao Shuo crossed the river, and Kong Rong and Qin Qi were worried.

The two of them had a simple meal at Qin Qi's mansion, and were discussing how to negotiate with Gao Ran if Cao Shuo didn't come back.

Qin Qi's personal soldiers said outside the door: "General Qiyu, there are people on the other side. ”

"Someone from the other side?" Qin Qi was stunned: "What for?" ”

"I said I was going to invite a few dancers in Yanjin." The pro-soldier said: "Without the dancer to help the fun, the son is not willing to eat over there." ”

Kong Rong and Qin Qi were stunned.

Cao Shuo said before crossing the river that there would definitely be wine and beautiful people on the other side.

The two of them didn't believe it at the time, and it would seem that he really didn't brag nonsense.

"How?" Qin Qi asked again.

"The general did not speak, and the brothers did not dare to let them go ashore." The pro-soldier replied.

"Kong Gong, what should I do?" Qin Qi asked Kong Rong.

"The other side sent someone to invite the dancer, or for the second son." Kong Rong said: "There is no reason to stop them. ”

"Do as Kong Gong says." Qin Qi said: "Allow them to go and find it, but they must be strictly monitored and don't let them leave any eyeliner in Yanjin." ”

The pro-soldiers retreated.

Qin Qi said to Kong Rong: "Before Gongzi crossed the river, I thought he was just joking, but I didn't expect Gao Ran to really send someone to find the dancer. ”

"To be honest, I didn't expect it either." Kong Rong said: "With the ability of the son, why do you need to follow me out to see the world?" I should say that I followed him. ”

"I seem to understand why Childe was able to enter and exit Wancheng twice and be unscathed." Qin Qi said: "When I saw him, I thought it was a young man's heart that needed to be tempered. Unexpectedly, even Gao Ran could send someone to cross the river for him to invite a dancer. ”

Kong Rong nodded: "The Cao family has a second son, why worry about the world?" ”

The two sighed for a while, but Cao Shuo and Gao Ran on the other side of the river became more and more speculative the more they talked.

After drinking some wine, Cao Shuo's cheeks flushed slightly, and he said to Gao Ran: "After today, if you want the dancer to dance, just go to Yanjin to invite." The Cao family has never been hostile to the Yuan family, and the two families will definitely be reconciled from generation to generation, and they will never turn against each other. ”

"With the son here, the two families can't turn their faces." Gao Ran was also a little drunk: "If I hadn't seen my son, how would I have sent someone to the other side?" ”

"Tomorrow Kong Gong crosses the river, the general will receive him ceremoniously, and then send someone to Yecheng, Yuan Gong will definitely miss you." Cao Shuo said: "Stationed on the other side of Yanjin, not only does not cause trouble, but gets closer to the Cao family. The general relieved Yuan Gong of the burden in his heart. ”

"That's what Childe said!" Gao Ran said: "Early tomorrow morning, I will definitely receive Kong Gong with the most solemn courtesy. ”
