Chapter 171: The Hungry Old Man

Just when Wang Shuo drove off, in the Taishou Mansion of Dongjun, a willow coffin was placed on top of the mourning hall, Cao Cao led the Xiahou brothers and several Cao family brothers to kneel and worship, and there were two women crying very badly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Cao Cao inserted the lit three incense sticks into the incense burner, and kowtowed his head again, "Zilian go well, Meng De, as a brother, will definitely avenge you." ā€

One of Xiahou Yuan's sleeves was empty, and he said hatefully: "I hope that the eldest brother can let me kill Wang Shuo personally, so that I can avenge the broken arm!" ā€

A trace of ruthlessness appeared on Cao Cao's face, "Killing him is cheap, I will expose him to death!" ā€

Xiahoudun had a trace of doubt, "Will Wang Shuo come?" It's just a father who sold him to someone else since he was a child, and the two have no feelings at all, will Wang Shuo choose to come? ā€

"The man's words are terrible, he can't help but come, just wait. Yuan asks you to prepare for cavalry to charge, Miaocai you prepare for archers to set up formations, Zixiao you prepare for infantry battles! ā€

"Yes!"

Xiahoudun and Cao Ren replied together, but Xiahouyuan was very unconvinced, got up and said, "Big brother, do you see that I can't go to the battlefield if I am missing an arm?" ā€

Cao Cao said in a low voice: "Then what do you want?" ā€

"I also have to rush and kill with the cavalry, so as to show my Xiahou Yuan's might!"

Cao Cao did not refuse, but agreed, "Yes, then Zihe will lead the archers to shoot and kill." ā€

Cao Chun nodded yes, but Xiahoudun was anxious, "Miaocai is seriously injured and has not recovered, how can he go to the battlefield to fight, the eldest brother has not let Miaocai lead the archers." ā€

"I've made up my mind, brother doesn't need to say more."

Cao Cao also said, "This is Miaocai's own choice, I don't want to interfere more." ā€

Everyone said this, and Xiahoudun had nothing to say, thinking that the people in Wang Shuo's small town could not withstand the soldiers of his own county, so he had to go.

Cao Cao can only show his hands at present, these people in front of Cao Hong's coffin, they are all from his own family, and they belong to the Eight Tiger Riders.

The Eight Tiger Riders refer to the eight clan generals under Cao Cao, because they belong to the same volume in the history book "Three Kingdoms", and they are all outstanding heroic figures, which are deeply loved by modern netizens, and the latter respectfully call these eight Eight Tiger Riders.

They are: the one-eyed general Xiahou Xuan, the right Xiahou Yuan of Hubu Pass, Cao Ren, who is known as a celestial, Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Hong, who is loyal to the savior, Cao Xiu, a thousand-mile horse, Xiahou Shang, who is a minion in the heart, and Cao Zhen, a famous general who resists Shu.

Now Cao Cao has a total of five people, including the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Chun brothers, plus Cao Hong, but unfortunately Cao Hong is dead. Cao Xiu is still in exile in Wu, Cao Cao has also confiscated Cao Zhen as an adopted son, and Xiahou Shang is still a little child.

As for a group of veterans like He Dian Wei, Le Jin, Yu Ban, and Li Dian, they are far from appearing.

In comparison, Wang Shuo's subordinates already have Cao Xing Zhou Cang, Huang Zhong's father and son, and the generals seem to be not much worse than Cao Cao, and the only deficiency may be the background of his background.

On this side, Cao Cao was ready to invite you into the urn as soon as he came back, and on the other side, Wang Shuo was coming on the way to throw himself into the net.

Langya County is far away from Dongjun, and it takes several large counties to reach Dongjun, and along the way, Wang Shuo and Tai Shici have become more familiar.

Especially when talking about ideals, Tai Shici's mind is full of angry young people who have made meritorious contributions, but unfortunately Wang Shuo has no territory now, otherwise Wang Shuo would definitely stretch out his right hand and say sincerely, "Ziyi come to me, I will give you a good opportunity to make a name for yourself." ā€

Therefore, Wang Shuo can only try to win over the relationship as much as possible, and then shake the tiger body when he has the capital, so that Tai Shi Ci will invest in the wind.

Under the rapid rush of the carriage, the time passed quickly, and by the evening, it had already left the territory of Gaomi County and arrived in Pyeongchang, another city and county.

Tai Shi Ci drove the carriage and said: "It is dark, I see the lights in front of me, it seems to be a small village, let's go there and spend the night." ā€

"It's fine."

Wang Shuo nodded in agreement.

The carriage soon came to the village in the night, the village was very desolate, like a dilapidated village that had not been inhabited for a long time, and the ground was overgrown with withered yellow weeds, and if it were not for a road that had been trodden out, Wang Shuo would almost have thought that there was no one in this village.

However, the cheers from the depths of the village told Wang Shuo that there were not only people here, but also that there should be many of them.

Wang Shuo pointed to a spark in front of him and said, "There is a house in front of me with bright light from the window, there should be people inside, let's go and see where we go." ā€

The carriage stopped in front of a very ordinary hut, and Zhou Cang stepped forward to knock on the door, and shouted in a broken voice, "Is there anyone inside?" Please open the door. ā€

Seeing that there was no movement inside, Zhou Cang banged on the door again and shouted, "Is there anyone inside?" ā€

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Squeak", a shriveled and thin old man opened the small wooden door, and when facing Zhou Cang, he only felt that there was an umbrella door in front of him, and when he looked up, he realized that it was a person.

I only heard the old man say, "Are you here to bring food to the old man?" ā€

At this time, Zhou Cang let go, and Wang Shuo stepped forward and said, "If it is dark today, in order to avoid sleeping in the wilderness, we want to disturb here for a night." ā€

The thin old man was a little disappointed, "I didn't come to deliver food." ā€

But the old man still welcomed Wang Shuo and them into the house, and when they entered the house, Wang Shuo knew what it was to be poor, there was almost nothing in this house, and the whole thing was empty with an oil lamp on the ground, and there was a bunch of weeds next to it, which seemed to be the old man's bed.

The old man closed the door and said kindly, "You see that there is nothing in this house, I will go to the back room to give you some weeds, and you will sleep all night." ā€

"Then thank you, uncle."

The old man even said that he didn't need to thank him, and then walked to the back room with vain steps, Wang Shuo said to Zhou Cang: "Yuanfu, you go and help the old man." ā€

After laying out the weeds, Wang Shuo took out a few taels of silver, took out two pieces of coarse bread from the dry food, and handed them to the old man, "Old man, in order to express your gratitude, you can accept these things." ā€

The old man's eyes lit up when he saw the coarse cake, and he snatched the coarse cake and immediately devoured it, ignoring even the few taels of silver in Wang Shuo's hand.

Tai Shici, who had not spoken all the time, sighed: "How long has it been since this old man eaten?" ā€

Wang Shuo replied: "This is the case in troubled times, many people will even starve to death. ā€

It may be that he was in too much of a hurry to eat, and the old man was choked immediately, Wang Shuo hurriedly handed over the kettle, and the old man purred and poured it violently, and then calmed down.

But the old man stopped eating the bread, and put away the remaining half-coarse cake, Wang Shuo asked in surprise, "Why didn't the old man eat it?" ā€

"No, I'm going to leave these to my little granddaughter, and she'll be glad to see them when she returns." (To be continued.) )
