Chapter 257: Xu Rong
"How so?" Hearing the news brought by Dian Wei, Cao Judeng was taken aback, and stood up suddenly, his eyes widened wider than the copper bell. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dian Wei said: "Lord, the old lady and her entourage have arrived thirty miles outside the east gate, Dong Zhuo sent someone to inform the lord, please hurry up outside the east gate to greet the old lady." ”
Cao Ju's eyes narrowed twice, and he muttered to himself: "Li Ru, this must be your strategy, if you want to use your old mother to be lonely, even if you raise millions of troops alone in the future, you don't dare to have any objections." ”
Yan Zhong nodded and said, "Lord, not only that, if the lord has the opportunity to break away from Dong Zhuo in the future, as long as the old lady is in Luoyang, it will not be easy to get out." ”
He Hao sighed and said: "Yes, Li Ru's plan is really a vicious plan, it is enough to tie the lord and Dong Zhuo together, and you can't get out." ”
Cao Ju didn't know how, paced back and forth in the room, and said: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, only take one step at a time, watch the changes, go, you will follow me to the east gate to greet the old lady." ”
Sure enough, Cao Ju led his subordinates to the east gate, and got the news that Cao Xu's car was less than twenty miles away from the east gate, so he hurried over.
Fifteen miles away from the east gate, Cao Ju and the others happened to catch up with Cao Xu's car, and he couldn't help but gasp, obediently, with such a big pomp, it is estimated that the family members of those related to Cao Ju were all brought over by Dong Zhuo.
In addition to the 2,000 soldiers and horses guarded, there were more than a dozen chariots and hundreds of entourage, and the first one was none other than Cao Ju's brother-in-law Tian Song.
When Tian Song saw Cao Ju, he waved his hand excitedly while Pegasus greeted Cao Ju.
Originally, the last time he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, Cao Ju had already agreed to let Tian Song be his master bookkeeper and return to Luoyang with him. However, this kid was so excited, he drank some wine at night, and played a game of water with his concubine, and the next day he had a fever, and he was sick for a month before he was completely cured.
A month later, Tian Song sent a letter to Cao Ju, saying that he was going to come to Luoyang, and asked Cao Ju what people he needed to bring, or what he didn't want to bring.
At that time, the situation was relatively chaotic, so Cao Ju asked Tian Song to wait, but he didn't want to wait until today.
Cao Ju asked Tian Song to wait, but in fact, he didn't let him come again, because after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Cao Ju's original plan was to leave, but he couldn't leave for the time being because of Empress Dowager He, Liu Bian and Huangfu Song, and Cao Xu's family was deceived by Dong Zhuo with a holy decree, and it was almost impossible for Cao Ju to leave Dong Zhuo.
Tian Song didn't know, he flew over excitedly, stopped when he was about to get to the front, dismounted, came to Cao Ju, and shouted excitedly: "Brother-in-law, go and meet the old lady." ”
Cao Ju didn't move at all, and there was no excitement on his face, and asked, "Yu Nian, who is the leader of the army?" ”
Tian Song didn't expect Cao Ju to be not excited at all, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and instinctively replied: "It's General Xu Rongxu, the general under the command of Lord Sikong." ”
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Xu Rong, Cao Ju was stunned for a moment, looked at the military general standing on the horse under the banner of the word "Dong" in the distance, and thought to himself, it was very fancy, he didn't even have the banner of the main general, only a big flag with the word "Dong".
Cao Ju asked again: "Who are the people who came to Luoyang this time?" ”
Tian Song was good at observing words and feelings, and immediately felt that this time Xu Rong sent troops to bring them into Luoyang, it was not Cao Ju's intention, there should be some conspiracy in it.
"The old lady, the little sister Cao Ying, the Hu sisters, the Ganmei girl, Mi Huan, Xu Lan, our Tian family, and the families of the generals such as Zihe and Zixiong have all been taken over."
"......" Cao Ju's face changed slightly, Li Ru is really vicious, just take Cao Ju's family over, and even the families of Cao Chun, Cao Peng and other generals will not let go.
The matter has come to this point, no matter how much Cao Ju hates Li Ru, he has no choice but to accept this fact before thinking of a good strategy.
At that moment, Cao Ju didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately stepped forward, first greeted Xu Rong, and then went to Cao Xu's carriage and horse to salute: "Mother has been driving all the way, please go back to the house with the child to rest." ”
Cao Xu lifted the curtain, looked at Cao Ju who was kneeling on the ground lovingly, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be tired, Ah Ju, General Xu is worried that his mother is tired along the way, and he only travels a hundred miles every day, and he is very thorough along the way." ”
Among the generals in Xiliang, it is estimated that only Xu Rong will be so careful and reliable, if he is replaced by Li Yu and others, I am afraid that Cao Xu's family will be driven away and scattered, and Cao Ju will inevitably turn his face with him.
In fact, this Xu Rong, although he is from Dong Zhuo's lineage, is not from Xiliang, but from Xiangping, Liaodong, and is the only non-Xiliang person who is valued by Dong Zhuo under Dong Zhuo.
Cao Ju nodded and said: "Don't worry, the child will be grateful to General Xu, my mother has been driving all the way, so let's go back to the house to rest first." ”
"Okay, Ah Ju will lead the way." Cao Xu nodded, lowered the curtain, Cao Ju also stood up, waved his hand to Xu Rong, and the carriage and horse continued to go towards Luoyang City.
Cao Ju got on the horse and caught up with Xu Rong, hugged his fists and said: "Fang Cai's mother told me that General Xu took good care of him along the way, and Gu specially expressed his gratitude to General Xu. ”
Xu Rong smiled slightly, hugged his fists, and said, "This is a matter within the general's share, and the horse doesn't have to be like this." ”
Among the generals under Dong Zhuo's command, Cao Ju values Xu Rong the most, a person who almost defeated Cao Cao in history and almost killed him, he naturally will not give up this opportunity to make friends with Xu Rong, and said with a smile: "Fang Cai's mother instructed, let Gu must be a good life to thank General Xu, and ask General Xu to be considerate of the lonely mother's life. ”
Xu Rong's impression of Cao Ju is also good, to be honest, he can't get used to the arrogance of the generals of Xiliang in Luoyang, bullying the people, and even killing the good and risking his merits, so he nodded and said: "In this way, Xu Rong will climb high." ”
Cao Ju was secretly happy in his heart, nodded and said, "When the lonely general's mother and others are settled, I will send someone to invite General Xu to express my gratitude." ”
This time, Xu Rong was not polite again, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, donkey." ”
Next, the two rushed to Luoyang City, and talked to Xu Rongpan, both of them were leading the army to fight, and the two of them had extraordinary knowledge of this, and after a conversation, they both admired each other, and the relationship naturally became a lot closer.
After entering the east gate of Luoyang, Xu Rong broke up with Cao Ju and went back to Dong Zhuo, while Cao Ju took the carriage and horses back to the house. (To be continued.) )
