Xiapi, Wangcheng.

Cao Ying put down the file in his hand with some distress, raised his hand and twisted his short hair, and his slightly fat cheeks revealed a dignified color.

This Cao Youxue is really not worry-free!

Tuk tuk!

There was a knock on the door.

"Sikong, I beg to see you with filial piety."

Cao Ying said in a deep voice: "Please let him in." ”

After a while, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Immediately after, the door opened. Guo Jia walked into the room and saluted Cao Ying.

"Fengxiao, why did you come to me so late?"

Guo Jia Zhengse said: "Jia came here to relieve the sorrow of the lord. ”

"Oh?"

Cao Ying didn't respond, just waved his hand and motioned for Guo Jia to sit down and speak. Then, he got up and picked up a pot of wine from the desk, walked over to pour Guo Jia a glass, and silently returned to the bed and sat down, staring at Guo Jia with bright eyes, without saying a word.

Cao Ying's eyes are not big, but they are very divine.

Guo Jia said: "The lord must be worried about the Lu family? ”

"As soon as Lu Bu died, his family was not worried. Those I am worried about, I think Feng Xiao is also very clear.

Liu Xuande said in the book that the person who let go of Lu Bu's family must be Cao Peng. And judging from all indications, this matter has nothing to do with him. I know Lu Bu's surname very well, and it really surprised me that such a blood surname suddenly broke out; And his family disappeared even more mysteriously. I dare to say that this is extremely closely related to Lu Bu's sudden breakthrough. Who picked them up? ”

Guo Jia was silent!

After a moment, he said softly, "I think the lord has already judged. ”

"Actually, you know Bonghyo too, right?"

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "If the lord gets Lu Bu's family, what should he do?" ”

"If you can't get enough of your wife and children, Lu Bu deserves to die, but I won't affect his family yet."

Guo Jia said suddenly: "I heard that Lu Bu has a beautiful concubine named Ren Xiu, I don't know if the lord has ever seen this woman?" ”

Cao Ying looked at Guo Jia in amazement, and suddenly couldn't react, how could Hao Duanduan mention the name of such a beautiful girl?

However, he quickly reacted.

couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and coughed lightly twice, "Ren Xiu, it is indeed beautiful." ”

"If you keep this girl, you will inevitably give birth to disaster.

The public did not hear that Dong Zhuo had this daughter and died; Lu Bu got this woman and collapsed...... This woman is like the praise of the king of You, and the Daji of the king of Xu, all of whom are blushing to the country. In my opinion, Cao Peng took Lu Bu's family away, and there was no harm in being with the lord. Jia thought that the reason why Cao Peng did this kind of thing was not because it was unfavorable to the lord. On the contrary, if he really had a second heart, why did he stick to Quyang in the first place and fight with Lu Bu in full swing? ”

Cao Ying's mustache groaned, a pair of fine eyes, unconsciously half-squinted.

"Fengxiao, then tell me, why did Cao Peng rescue Lu Bu's wife and children? Could it be that he is also greedy for the beauty of Ren Xiu, or ......"

"Definitely!" Guo Jia couldn't help but smile and said: "I once heard that Cao Peng's family already has beautiful relatives. If you say that you are greedy for beauty, it is impossible. This son is an upright man, not like some people, and his thoughts are complicated. He rescued Lu Bu's family, I'm afraid it was more for kindness. ”

"Enyi?"

"Changwen told me that when Deng Ji and Cao Peng arrived in Haixi, it was very difficult, and there were only 200 soldiers and horses in their hands.

It was Lu Bu who gave Cao Peng 200 soldiers and horses at that time, which enabled his brother to tide over the difficulties. Friends learn to be affectionate, and they know how to repay kindness. However, he knew very well that he couldn't save Lu Bu, so he had the idea of taking Lu Bu's family to take care of him, which was done benevolently. It's just that this kid is sometimes too ignorant and likes to make his own decisions...... But to say that he rebelled? That's pure nonsense.

If Cao Peng really wanted to rebel, why did he send grain and grass to Xiapi?

If he really wants to rebel, he can wait for an opportunity to move when the main public soldier is trapped. At that time, with Lu Bu's courage and Chen Gong's strategy, he would definitely be able to make the lord in a dilemma. But when the great war came, he not only provided food and grass, but also came to the city himself.

Lord, regardless of why Youxue came to Xiapi, he definitely wouldn't do it to rebel. ”

Cao Ying was silent, but in his heart, he had accepted Guo Jia's explanation...... This boy is indeed a man of love and righteousness.

However, since he has done such a thing, it is obviously inappropriate for him to continue to stay outside.

Cao Ying originally planned to make Cao Peng the captain of Guangling and ordered him to preside over the affairs of Hailing Tuntian. But now, Cao Ying couldn't help but hesitate.

"What do you think should be done?"

Guo Jia is so clever, just listening to Cao Ying's tone, he can guess his inner thoughts.

Sometimes, though, he has to learn to play dumb. A subordinate who is too smart is a big threat to the boss.

"Disposition?"

"I mean, how do you arrange it?"

"Didn't you say that let him stay in Hailing?"

Cao Ying coughed twice, "I thought about it before, but after thinking about it, I didn't think it was appropriate." Youxue is indeed talented, but after all, he is still young. Guangling Agricultural Lieutenant, the responsibility is heavy, and it is more related to the major affairs of Guangling Tuntian, I am worried that he will not be able to do it. ”

Guo Jia had a sympathetic expression and nodded vigorously.

"When the lord said this, Jia also felt the same way, it was a little casual before."

"But you also know that Youxue has made great achievements after all. Not to mention that he beheaded more than 100 people in Quyang, and he also had the merit of seizing the prime minister and protecting my food. Now it is said that Zhang Liao has been demoted...... If you don't reward him for this lot of credit, I'm afraid it won't be fair to him. ”

It can be seen that Cao Ying does not want to pursue Cao Peng's fault too much.

What exactly are the considerations?

Guo Jia can also vaguely guess one or two...... Although Cao Peng said that he took over Lu Bu's family, in fact, it did not have much impact on the overall situation.

Even, because of Cao Peng's appearance, the situation in Xiapi was quickly resolved, which is not a good thing. And Cao Peng's statement that he has the intention of rebellion is also unlikely. Cao Peng's father and mother are now in Xudu. He has several righteous brothers, and some of them are still Cao Ying's clansmen, so it is basically nonsense to say that he rebelled. Cao Ying is more willing to accept it, and Cao Peng's explanation is serious...... At the same time, Cao Peng may be a member of the Cao clan, which also makes Cao Peng a little excited.

If it is really from his own family, it is even more impossible to rebel. Although Cao's family has many talents, wouldn't it be better if there is one more talent?

But anyway, Cao Peng did something that made Cao Ying a little unhappy after all.

Guo Jia thought for a while, "Youxue will be sixteen!" ”

"Huh?"

"In the middle of the year, Xiu Ruo also said that you will be crowned with a good student, and you are studying properly.

This child's virtues and talents are not bad, but he still needs to be taught by someone who understands. Uncle and grandson also had this meaning before, and Jun Shigong has also been trying to find a teacher for Youxue. If Hugh mentions a person who intends to let friends learn from him, I'm afraid he won't have time to do things. ”

"Uh...... Hugh wants to introduce him to a teacher? ”

"Yes, Hugh Ruo said, I want to learn from Zhongyu's disciples."

"Zhongyu?" Cao Ying frowned and said softly: "Isn't he busy compiling the "Han Ji" now, does he have this time?" ”

The 'Zhongyu' mentioned by Guo Jia is named Xun Yue, who is older than Cao Ying, and is exactly fifty years old this year.

This person is also a member of the Yingchuan Xun clan, the grandson of Xun Shu, the son of Xun Jian, and Xun Yu's cousin. Yingchuan has the saying of Xun's four masters. The first of these four heroes is Xun Yue, followed by Xun Yan, Xun Chen and Xun Yu. Therefore, it is also known as three if one Zhongyu.

Xun Yue is the eldest brother, and it is said that he has the ability to never forget.

At the age of twelve, he was able to explain the "Spring and Autumn Period", and he was tired of moving secretaries and supervisors, and served in the middle of the Han Dynasty. Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, that is, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, thought that the "Book of Han" was complicated and difficult to understand, so he ordered Xun Yue to rewrite it in a chronological style and compile the "Han Ji" in accordance with the genre of Zuo Chuan.

He has a reputation for being an upright man.

Guo Jia said: "Hugh Ruoyan, he pleaded with Zhongyu. ”

"Forget it."

Cao Ying thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Zhongyu does things for the Son of Heaven and compiles the "Han Ji", which is also an important matter. Cao Peng worships him as a teacher, which is good, but he is afraid that it will affect Zhongyu. Moreover, Zhongyu is busy with affairs, and I am afraid that he does not have time to teach Cao Peng. ”

"That's ...... commonplace"

"I'll arrange this matter."

Cao Ying spit out these words, which means that he no longer blames Cao Peng.

Sure enough, I saw him pick up the file on the bookcase, think about it, and throw it into the brazier next to him.

"Ordered Deng Ji to be the governor of Haixi Tuntian, concurrently serve as the Haixi Order, and govern Quyang, Haixi, and Yilu."

"That Hailing Tuntian ......"

Cao Ying thought for a while, "Hailing Tuntian, the stakes are very high, and the land of the two counties should not be taken lightly. Fengxiao, you can explore Cao Peng's style! After all, he is familiar with the situation in Guangling, see if there is a suitable candidate...... If it really doesn't work, let Deng Ji recommend it, how about it? ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, "I'll go down and make arrangements." ”

Tuntian is not a trivial matter, although Nongduwei said that it was only 400 stones, but the responsibility was heavy.

Not only to be in charge of military affairs, but also to be proficient in internal affairs. The most important thing is that this person must also be familiar with the Hailing area.

If you take the liberty of appointing one, you will inevitably cause trouble.

Originally, Cao Peng was indeed the most suitable candidate, but now...... Guo Jia said goodbye and left, and Cao Ying seemed to be much more relaxed.

He paced out of the room and stood on the porch, looking up at the starry sky.

The cold winter will soon pass!

———————————————————————————————— Yuzhou Mountain Port, six sea ships are ready.

After waiting for three days, Cao Peng did not appear in the end. It is said that after he surrendered Zhang Liao, he returned to Xiapi with Zhang Liao and met Cao Ying.

Looking at Lu Lan standing alone on the harbor, Diao Chan couldn't help but sigh softly.

After all, there is no fate!

Once upon a time, Diao Chan felt that if Lu Lan could be with Cao Peng, it would be a good result.

But...... She walked to Lu Lan's side, stretched out her hand, and hugged Lu Lan's thin shoulder.

"Lingqi, it's time for us to go."

"Little lady, is he really not coming?"

Lu Lan looked very haggard, turned around, looked at Diao Chan, and asked a little unwillingly.

Speaking of which, Lu Lan and Cao Peng didn't have much contact. When she came to Haixi to relax, although she often played with Cao Peng, she didn't feel anything. But now, when she knew that Cao Peng was rescued for the sake of his family, he risked his life...... In Lu Lan's heart, there was an indescribable feeling. She couldn't tell, but what it was like. There is gratitude, there is ...... After coming to Yuzhou Mountain, Lu Lan really wanted to see Cao Peng once.

But for three days, Cao Peng never appeared.

In my heart, there is some emptiness.

Today, they are about to leave Yuzhou Mountain, and they don't know when they will be able to return to their homeland.

As Lu Lan spoke, a flash of crystal flashed in his eyes.

Diao Chan hugged her in his arms and said softly: "Lingqi, Cao Gongzi has done a lot for us, we shouldn't make trouble for him anymore." If there is a fate, we will definitely be able to meet him again. But the premise is that we have to live and live well...... I believe that Cao Gongzi also hopes so. He put so much effort into it, but he didn't want Lingqi to look like this. ”

Cheeks, slightly translucent.

Lu Lan's eyes were a little red, and he nodded vigorously.

"Little lady, I will definitely live well."

"Let's go, Madame is already waiting for us on the ship......"

Lu Lan agreed, and held on to Diao Chan, and slowly walked towards the sea boat.

"Where's the second lady?"

The surname Cao suddenly asked on the boat.

Mrs. Yan was dressed in a military uniform, wearing a three-pronged golden crown and a hundred flowers in a battle robe.

Her face was cold, and she didn't look back, "Don't worry about her...... Since she wasn't there, she must have gone where she wanted to go. ”

As she spoke, Qi'er jumped off the ship.

She walked behind Mrs. Yan and said softly, "In Madame's residence, there are some traces, but I have erased them...... The second lady has followed the prince. ”

Mrs. Yan's body trembled and bowed her head slightly.

The surname Cao listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but show a look of horror.

Mrs. Cao has been reluctant to go to Mahan, and it seems that ...... It's just that the surname Cao didn't expect that Mrs. Yan would be so ruthless and kill Mrs. Cao directly. From the perspective of this decisive method, Mrs. Yan seems to be more suitable for the role of the lord than Lu Bu. Maybe it's the right choice to go to Mahan.

There were 430 people who went to Mahan.

More than 100 people did not want to accompany him, and they were secretly executed by Ganning Gaoshun.

At this time, there is no room for a little mercy.

The surname Cao looked at the boat and nodded slightly.

Of the six seagoing vessels, three were used to carry soldiers, and the other three were to carry grain, grass and horses. This is also all their family background.

"Madame, you're all set!"

Mrs. Yan watched Diao Chan and Lu Lan board the ship and nodded.

She stood at the bow of the boat and bowed to Gan Ning, who was on the dock.

The surname Cao and Gao Shun, including Diao Chan Lu Lan and Qi'er, also followed Mrs. Yan and saluted Buqi Gan Ning.

"Please tell Cao Gongzi that the Lu family will keep in mind the kindness and righteousness that is said today. He said that if the Lu family can recover, it will be thanks to the help of Cao Gongzi today.

Yan Qing, thank you so much! ”

Bu Qiu and Gan Ning also arched their hands and said, "Madam, have a good trip." ”

With the sound of the horn on the sea boat, the six sea ships slowly sailed out of Yuzhou Mountain Harbor and headed for the vast sea.

Lu Lan suddenly cried!

She buried her head in Diao's arms, her thin shoulders trembling.

Diao Chan, Mrs. Yan and Qi'er's eyes were also red.

Goodbye, Xuzhou!

Madame Yan tried to keep herself calm, waved her hand, and the ship accelerated.

The vast sea, as far as the eye can see.

As the horizon gets farther away, the outline of the island becomes more and more blurred...... Woo-woo-woo-Woo- In the distance, suddenly a horn sounded.

The surnamed Cao Lingling shuddered, hurriedly ran to the bow of the boat, and raised his eyes to look.

"Madame, there are two ships on the side."

After Mrs. Yan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be frightened and hurriedly ran over.

Two sea ships came into their sight. One in front, one in the back. On the deck of the sea ship in front of him, a thin boy stood with his hands in his hands.

The sea breeze blew on his coat and the sound of hunting.

With a faint smile on his face, he bowed his hand to Mrs. Yan and the others, and shook it deeply.

"It's Cao Gongzi!"

The surname Cao couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, it's Ah Fu...... It's him! Lu Lan's eyes were filled with tears.

She waved desperately at the two ships, but the boats stopped about a few hundred meters away.

A sea boat followed, and two sea ships were side by side.

A pair of white silk about twenty or thirty meters long appeared between two sea vessels. On the white silk was a line of four large red characters.

Ladies and gentlemen, cherish!

Lu Lan's tears fell suddenly.

She suddenly broke free from Diao Chan's arms and waved desperately at the two ships.

"Ah Fu, you have to take care of yourself......"

A faint smile appeared on Mrs. Yan's cheeks.

"Please cherish it!"

"Please cherish it!"

Three sea ships, more than 430 people shouted at the same time.

In a trance, Lu Lan saw a bright smile on Cao Peng's face on the boat opposite.

"Ah Fu, cherish!"

Tears, wet clothes......
