From the end of November of the eighth year of Jian'an, there is constantly news coming from the Jizhong Plain, these news are Cao Jun 14 Hou to probe into, because Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought fiercely in the Jizhou Plain, the villages outside the city were destroyed, many people living in it were displaced, Cao Jun's scouts dressed up in disguise, and then with some food can find out a lot of news, the entire December of the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Pi is reading the news summarized by the scouts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although Yuan Tan was able to take a small city in the plain as a foothold, defeat Tian Kai and Kong Rong, and occupy the entire Qingzhou for Yuan Shao, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and now Yuan Tan's army lacks food, and it is the besieging party, which is not Yuan Shang's opponent at all, in just one month, Yuan Tan has been defeated, Yuan Shang has to be unforgiving, and led the troops to pursue and retreat Yuan Tan all the way, and the two armies are heading to the plain.
The last military information is that Yuan Tan has withdrawn from the Jizhong Plain, but Yuan Shang is still in hot pursuit, during which the two brothers fought several big battles, all of which ended in Yuan Tan's failure, and many sergeants, scribes, weapons, and horses were captured by Yuan Shang.
On the last day of the eighth year of Jian'an, Cao Ren sent someone to report that a carriage had been intercepted outside the city of Liyang, and the passengers in the carriage claimed to be Yuan Tan's messenger. When Cao Pi heard this, he immediately came to the main hall of the mansion, asked Niu Jin to stand aside, and summoned the messenger.
The envoy is not very old, he should be thirty-two or thirteen years old, with a delicate appearance, medium stature, well-proportioned body, and wearing an older fur, which looks like he should be a person with considerable status in Yuan Tan's army, but because Yuan Tan's life is not good now, the fur is neglected. This person has a sparse beard, a bit of a learned person, this person saw Cao Pi and immediately said: "Yingchuan Yang Zhai Xinbi, Xin George." Meet the Ruling Kingo. ”
Cao Pi nodded and said, "You are Yuan Xiansi's messenger?" ”
Xin Bi replied: "Exactly, the general of the chariot has already brought a letter of surrender with his subordinates, and wants to present it to Sikong, but my carriage was stopped in Liyang, and I heard that there is a Zhijinwu in Liyang City, so I came to see it first, and I would like to ask Zhijinwu to forward this book to Sikong." After speaking, he immediately took out a roll of silk silk from his bosom and overlooked it.
Cao Pi asked Niu Jin to take it over and put it on the case, he didn't look at it, and said with a smile: "Yuan Xiansi has not inherited his father's position, and he has called himself the general of the chariot cavalry, which is okay, and now the position of the general of the chariot is vacant, presumably Sikong will agree to his request, I won't read this book, except for the accident of the position of the general of the chariot cavalry, what other requirements does Yuan Xiansi have?" ”
Simbi replied: "Please also ask Sikong to send troops to relieve the siege of the general." In addition, please seal the general as the history of Qingzhou Thorn. ”
"The land of Qingzhou is also called by him Yuan Xiansi, this request is not excessive, as for the siege, I will send a fast horse to Xudu, please ask Sikong, if Sikong agrees, with my Liyang soldiers, you can also let Yuan Shang retreat."
After thanking him, Xin Bi continued: "Xia Guan still has a matter, and he wants to ask for help from Jinwu. ”
"Oh? What's the matter? ”
Xin Bi said with a sad face: "This time to envoy Xu Du, the lower official also brought the twelve-year-old little girl, the original intention was that the plain was short of grain, in order to send the little girl to Yingchuan's hometown, I heard that there is a lot of rice there, there is no shortage of food, the little girl followed the lower officials all the way, they were all dressed as children, and entered the city, but a female general took the little girl away, saying that the little girl looked smart and could be accompanied by her boudoir. Although the petty official is a scholar of Yuan Tan, he is still a scholar after all, and the little girl must not be a servant of others. ”
What scholars value is birth, although the situation is stronger than people, but after all, they will not allow their daughter to be someone else's maidservant, Xin Bi did not say the following words, but Cao Pi understands that if her daughter does not come back, Xin Pi will inevitably go over to find the female general by herself, in fact, Cao Pi already knows who kidnapped Xin Bi's daughter, and there is only one female general in this city.
"I'll take care of it at this point. George can wait a little here. After Cao Pi finished speaking, he turned his head to Niu Jin and said, "Find Mr. Zixiao to accompany the guest." Niu Jin was ordered to leave.
Xin Bi was a little uneasy when he heard Cao Pi say this, he thought that Cao Pi would only find a subordinate to ask his daughter back, but he didn't expect that Zhi Jinwu would go out in person, and at the same time secretly speculated in his heart about the identity of the female general he met in the city.
After a while, Cao Ren came, Cao Pi told Cao Ren to let him entertain Xin Bi and then left with Niu Jin, out of the house, Cao Pi and Niu Jin rode towards a small mansion in the southwest corner of Liyang City, originally Lu Lingqi lived in the mansion with Cao Pi, and then because of a quarrel about dealing with the homeless people, he asked Jia Xu to arrange a small courtyard for him to live in, and it was a small courtyard far away from Cao Pi's residence.
This approach is somewhat awkward, but Cao Pi is too lazy to take care of it, if it weren't for the fact that this woman robbed the daughter of Yuan Tan's envoy on the street this year, Cao Pi didn't want to come to her, for Cao Pi, one more woman is not too much, one less is not less, after all, he is the one who wants to be the emperor, and he will have more time to deal with women in the future, and he can't be hurt for this now.
When I arrived at the small courtyard, the two sergeants who were specially assigned to guard the yard saw Cao Pi, immediately saluted and opened the door, Cao Pi let Niu Jin wait outside the door, and walked in by himself, this courtyard is very small, only three entrances, the central axis of each courtyard is only a mobile building, and there are only four wings on both sides of each courtyard, which is inferior to Cao Pi's small courtyard in Cao's house, there is a rockery in the yard, and there is a pool below the rockery, and now the water in the pool has frozen, and there is nothing to see, Lu Lingqi, who was dressed in a beard jacket and a fur, was playing a ring-headed knife in the yard, looking at the pace and body shape, she had indeed improved a lot.
Cao Pi came to Lu Lingqi's five steps, felt the cold air from the ring head knife against his face, and said indifferently: "That messenger is of great use to our army, and he is a scholar, you shouldn't have taken his daughter to be a servant, you must know that your father has no official or position now, and you have not yet entered my Cao family, so you have nothing to rely on, you can't do such nonsense, but it's also a shame that you didn't enter the Cao family, otherwise you are so arbitrary, I should deal with it according to family law." ”
Lu Lingqi ignored it, and continued to play with his ring knife, Cao Pi didn't speak, raised his feet and walked towards the main hall, because there was a camp prostitute in the main hall that Xu Huang fished out from the people's camp to serve Lu Lingqi, and Cao Pi wanted to find her and ask where the person was.
Just about to step into the main hall, a cold wind hit from the back, Cao Pi was also really angry at this time, in the past, the two of them were fighting with fists and feet, but Lu Lingqi stabbed himself with a ring head knife this time, if it weren't for the estimation of Gao Shun and Lu Bu's mood, attacking him behind his back, he Cao Pi would inevitably scare his hands, but now it is not done, Lu Bu already knows about Jia Xu and his secret meeting, he needs Lu Bu to stand on his side.
Cao Pi avoided the attack with a sliding step, and when he turned to fight back, Lu Lingqi was already standing a knife away, and said calmly: "The two-year contract has dragged on for too long, let's understand it today, I win, let me go back to Dingling, I lose, let Jin Wu deal with it." ”
