The five elements are mutually reinforcing, fire gives birth to earth, with Zhang Jiao's last wish, after he dies, he will be cremated and buried in the soil. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After Daigo's transmission, Zhang Jiao's life came to an end and passed away suddenly, but Cao Ju slept for three days and three nights before he woke up, but Zhang Jiao had been cremated and buried by Dian Wei and Zhang Ning.

Cao Ju listened, didn't say a word, went directly to Zhang Jiao's grave, knelt for three days and three nights, and finally got up under the persuasion of Dian Wei.

Nine days and nine nights, Cao Ju and Dian Wei have been on the mountain for nine days and nine nights, but in these nine days and nine nights, it has an extremely significant impact on Cao Ju's life.

It's just that what makes Cao Ju a little disappointed is that he seems to have completely accepted Zhang Jiao's internal force, but his Taiping Huanglong Gong has just broken through to the third level, and it is not at least the fourth level, or higher, as Zhang Jiao expected.

Dian Wei couldn't explain this problem, and checked Cao Ju's body again, and the meridians were indeed widened, and there was nothing else unusual.

The third level is not bad, if you use Cao Ju's practice speed, even if you are whipped every day, if you want to break through the third level of Taiping Huanglonggong, it will take at least two years.

Zhang Jiao is dead, so there is no need for Zhang Ning to stay here, but thinking about Zhang Jiao's will, she must marry Cao Ju, and she is very resistant in her heart.

Cao Ju left Zhang Jiao's grave and returned to the cave, but saw that all the daily necessities inside were gone, Zhang Ning also packed a small package and resumed men's clothes again, it seemed that he was ready to go down the mountain.

Cao Ju was stunned and said, "Senior sister, master, he ......."

However, as soon as he spoke, Zhang Ning said angrily: "Cao Ju, you don't use your father to press me, I warn you, although my father forced me to marry you, but I didn't say when I would marry you, you are less proud." ”

"Uh......" Cao Judeng was speechless for a while, it seemed that he only said five words, and it was three titles, and he was misunderstood by Zhang Ning that he was going to mention marriage.

Dian Wei had already followed him into the cave, but when he saw this, he immediately turned around and left quickly, to see the horses of the three men.

One is Dian Wei's brother, the other is the daughter of Dian Wayne, and it belongs to family affairs, Dian Wei is not a fool, he will not get involved.

Cao Ju sighed and said, "Senior sister, I know that you have prejudices against me, but this marriage is set by the master, and you and I must obey it." However, now that Master is newly mourned, you and I should keep filial piety for three years, and we should not talk about marriage, so I mean, let's talk about it after three years. ”

Three years later, I don't know what the situation will be, maybe this guy is dead, Zhang Ning immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I'll talk about it in three years, but what, Cao Ju, if you go to the army, I won't go with you, I will keep filial piety for my father for three years in Jiuli Mountain." ”

Jiuli Mountain is Zhang Ning's territory, where there are 20,000 elite soldiers, as well as hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children, who can be self-sufficient just by male farmers and female weavers, not to mention the income from plundering past merchants.

Moreover, Jiuli Mountain is not comparable to the North Mountain, it is very big, and the mountain road is also steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is indeed very embarrassing to let Zhang Jiao's daughter follow him to Luoyang to join the army, if Zhang Ning's personality is like that of Widow Xing and Tian Jiao, it would be easy to say, but it is the opposite.

Cao Ju nodded and said, "Okay, senior sister, Brother Dian and I will send you to Jiuli Mountain, and then we will go to Luoyang, and after three years, I will go to Jiuli Mountain to find you." "I thought again, hey, three years later, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, Li Dao and Guo Yan controlled the government, at that time Cao Cao had already occupied Yanzhou and had a place to stand, and I would not be the current Cao Ju at that time, which is enough to impress you.

This time, Zhang Ning did not refuse, nodded and agreed, and the three of them rode towards Jiuli Mountain together.

Jiuli Mountain, located in the northwest of Xuzhou, borders with the Liang State of Yuzhou, spans the two states of Henan and Xuzhou, the main area is in the territory of Liang State, also known as Jiuning Mountain, the altitude is 40 zhang, the area is more than 100 hectares, and it is named because it is nine miles long from east to west.

Xuzhou has always been a place for soldiers to fight, in thousands of years of war, Jiuli Mountain played an important role in resisting strong enemies, sticking to the homeland, most of the battles to attack and hold Xuzhou in the past dynasties were carried out in front of Jiuli Mountain.

In 205 BC, Liu Bang united the armies of Han, Wei and other princes with 560,000 people, attacked Chu in the east and occupied Pengcheng. After Xiang Yu heard the news, he personally led 30,000 elite soldiers to the south to fight back, defeated the Han army in front of Jiuli Mountain, and recaptured Pengcheng. When Liu Bang abandoned his armor and fled, only a few dozen soldiers followed, and even his old father was lost on the way.

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Quanzhong, the envoy of the Xuanwu Army, and Shi Pu, the envoy of the Xuzhou Ganhua Army, clashed with Shi Pu, and they also fought in front of Jiuli Mountain.

Zhang Ning occupies Jiuli Mountain, and his vision is definitely very good, he can attack and retreat, but it will make Xuzhou Tao Qian a little unhappy. However, there are no powerful generals in Xuzhou, and with Zhang Ning's ability, it is absolutely no problem to stick to Jiuli Mountain, and Cao Ju is also very relieved about this.

Jiuli Mountain is in the northeast of Qian County, four hundred miles away, and the location of Luoyang is just the opposite, three people and three horses took a day, and when it was not dark, they had already arrived at the foot of Jiuli Mountain.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Zhang Ning hesitated for a moment and said: "It's getting dark, only Xuzhou Pengcheng is the closest nearby, do you want to go up the mountain with me, rest on the mountain for a night, or go to Pengcheng to stay?" ”

With these words, it is clear that the two of them are not willing to lead the two of them up the mountain, maybe they are not introducing Cao Ju's identity to their subordinates, Cao Ju sighed secretly in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "We are about to become officers and soldiers, and it is inconvenient to go up the mountain, so let's go to Pengcheng to stay." ”

Zhang Ningzheng didn't want the two of them to go up the mountain, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't keep you, Cao Ju, Brother Dian, we'll have a date later." ”

Watching Zhang Ning leave, Dian Wei asked: "Ah Ju, why don't you go up the mountain with her, the 20,000 horses on this mountain will be your subordinates in the future, and it is good to meet you in advance." ”

Cao Ju smiled slightly: "First, if I go up the mountain, my senior sister will be more embarrassed, and second, these 20,000 horses are the descendants of my senior sister, even if they know my relationship with my senior sister, but I only have the fame of destroying the Yellow Turban of Beishan at the moment, how can I convince these 20,000 people, so it is better to wait for three years when I raise troops to come here and then subdue them." ”

"Okay, ambitious, Ah Ju, I support you." Dian Wei agreed, looked at the sky, and said, "It's not early, let's go to Pengcheng quickly." ”

Just as the two of them turned their horses' heads and were about to go east to Pengcheng, a swift sound of horses' hooves came from the west, accompanied by a woman's cry for help.
