Chapter Forty-Six: Xuchang Taishou!
It is said that Cao Ying learned of the crisis in Xuchang, Yanzhou, and quickly ordered the generals to go back for reinforcements, and he also rushed with the remaining nearly 20,000 troops at night, non-stop.
If you lose Yanzhou, Cao Ying is not afraid, as long as the clansmen living in Juancheng are all there; If you lose Xuchang, Cao Ye is not afraid, as long as Jiang Zhe, Xun You, and Cheng Yu are all there......
Just approaching Xuchang, Cao Ying said that looking at the desolate scene of dilapidated houses and broken roads in the distance, his heart suddenly sank, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, how could Cao Ying not know?
"Hurry up!" Cao Ying yelled at the soldiers behind him again, fortunately, Cao Bing behind him was also worried about his relatives in Xuchang and Yanzhou, and he never complained, otherwise, ......
Sitting in the carriage, Guo Jia lifted the curtain and glanced at the ground outside the car, and saw that the road was muddy, and said to Xun Yu with some incredulity, "Shouyi won't dig up Yingshui, right?" ”
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and was silent, and Xi Zhicai laughed and said, "Righteousness is a gentleman, and now he will make this kind of poisonous scheme?" This must be Li Xianzhang's plan! Haha, it's spicy! ”
"Hey!" Guo Jia laughed and said with some doubts, "There is one thing in my heart that I doubt, the knowledge in my chest is not below us, and my intelligence is similar to ours, but I have never heard of its name, strange!" ”
"What's the wonder?" Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes and said, "In the name of righteousness, haven't I heard of it?" ”
"Yes!" Guo Jia nodded secretly.
"There are so many heroes in the world!" Xun Yu sighed with a smile.
It wasn't until he saw the thick city wall of Xuchang from a distance, and saw that there was still a Cao character flag on the city wall, that Cao Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face eased a lot.
As soon as Xiahoudun arrived in Xuchang, he naturally became the general of Xuchang, and Li Dianju was the deputy.
From afar, Xiahoudun heard the report of his soldiers and came to the city gate.
"Yuan Rang!" Cao Ying was worried about Jiang Zhe, and hurriedly shouted, "Open the city gate quickly!" ”
"Oh!" Xiahou replied and asked Li Dian to open the city gate and welcome Cao Ying inside.
"Where is the righteousness?" As soon as he saw Xiahoudun, Cao Ying asked bluntly.
"Sir?" Xiahou was stunned, watched the three strategists get out of the carriage, and returned to Cao Yingdao, "Mr. is handling government affairs in the Assassin's Mansion...... What is the matter with Mende? ”
"......" glanced at Xiahoudun speechlessly, Cao Ying finally relieved his mind, and the hurried road made him feel very tired.
Handed over his soldiers directly to Xiahoudun, Cao Ying took the three strategists and walked towards the Assassin's Mansion.
"Hey!" Suddenly, Guo Jia seemed to see something funny, and said with a smile, "It turns out that Shouyi is quite familiar with internal affairs......
"Huh?" Cao Ying didn't think about it so much, and said with some doubts, "Fengxiao, how do you know?" ”
"Lord, look!" I saw Guo Jia pointing to the houses of the people on both sides and saying, "Guanshou Yi's governance of Xuchang is comparable to that under the rule of the emperor, the road is not left behind, and the door is not closed at night......"
When Xi Zhicai saw it, he immediately laughed, Xun Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's really a ...... that doesn't close the door at night."
Cao Ying turned his head to look, and was immediately happy, only to see that the door of every household was gone, and said helplessly, "Ridiculous, so it is called not closing at night...... Hahaha! Wait for me to ask Shouyi! ”
When the four of them came to the Assassin's Mansion, Cao Ying strode in, looking at an emaciated young man sitting on the main seat in the hall from afar, as if he was worried about something, and looking at his frowning eyes, Cao Ying sighed with emotion in his heart: Shouyi! It's so commendable that I have entrusted him with such dedication......"
"What to do?" I saw Jiang Zhe holding his head and muttering, "I got married in Xuzhou for the first time, not to mention spending all my savings, and I still owe Yuanlong's kid a lot of money...... I wanted to put it off until after the year, but ...... Alas, I don't know when Meng De will come back......"
I don't know when Meng De will return...... When Cao Ying approached, he only heard this half of the sentence, and he was immediately extremely moved in his heart, and said softly, "Shouyi!" Meng De is here! ”
Jiang Zhe raised his head suddenly, looked at Cao Ying in a daze, and then showed joy on his face, "Meng De?!" At this moment, he was also very happy in his heart, and said secretly, Meng De is back, will he have no money to marry Zhao Ji?
"Shouyi!" Cao Ying strode forward, held Jiang Zhe's hands, and said movingly, "Shouyi, I have been in a group for several months, and Shouyi has lost a lot of weight...... Don't be too busy with government affairs, your body matters! ”
"Alas! I can't help it! Jiang Zhe sighed, there was not much food at home, and he thought that you would have to come back after a while......
"It's a great blessing to be righteous!" Cao Ying's face was emotional, and he said loudly, "Now that you have returned, you will be righteous and inform you of the troubles you have just had!" ”
"Mengde, how do you know?" Jiang Zhe's face turned red, and he said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just out of some ...... So...... That ......"
Cao Ying smiled slightly, and said boldly, "Righteousness can be said!" ”
"Really?" Jiang Zhe's eyes lit up, and he was a little embarrassed, and said to Cao Ying, "Actually, Meng De, you also know that Ben Zhe was going to marry Zhao Ji after the New Year, but what about it...... You know, women, hehe, so this marriage had to be advanced, almost a month later, of course getting married is not a troublesome thing, right, but this ...... Do you need money to get married...... Zhe is now empty...... Alas! Fortunately, Meng De is here today! Mengde, let's borrow some permission first? ”
"......" Cao Ying opened his mouth, his face was stunned, and Guo Jia whispered to the two people around him in the distance behind him, "Jia can't be measured by common sense, look!" ”
Xi Zhicai was choked by the wine just now, coughing again and again, Xun Yu shook his head, looked at Jiang Zhe with a smile, and said to Guo Jia, "I'm afraid that there will be an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks on top of the lord's family banquet......"
"Get married...... Cao Ying finally reacted, with an embarrassed face, and said, "Money is something outside the body, it's just a trivial matter...... Shouyi, this ...... Now that I'm back, Shouyi doesn't want to say anything to me? ”
"Say what?" Jiang Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, his face showed a strong joy, Cao Ying was suddenly relieved, although he failed to capture Xuzhou, but he was also ......
"Meng De is back, government affairs and return Meng De, ah! Easy! Easy! ”
"......" The corners of Cao Ying's eyes twitched, and he glanced at Jiang Zhe and moved his mouth to say something, but looking at Jiang Zhe's happy appearance, Cao Ying still chose to put the words in his stomach......
"Shouyi ......" thought about it, and Cao Ying said tentatively, "Since Shouyi wants to return the government affairs, then ......" He originally wanted to say, since you have returned the government affairs of a state, then you have to be responsible for something, right?
Who knew that Jiang Zhe would be mistaken, glanced at his seat and suddenly realized, "Zhe is out of shape, ......" hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.
Cao Ying finally arrived at the unprecedented powerlessness, sat on the main seat with Jiang Zhe's pull, and thought in his heart, I knew that you were lazy in Luoyang, and now you are still pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of me, hum!
Suddenly seeing Guo Jia at the door, Cao Ying suddenly thought about it, and said with a smile, "Shouyi, I entered Xuchang, came all the way, and saw that the people of Xuchang live in peace and do not close their doors at night, Shouyi is really talented!" Since you are quite proficient in internal affairs, it is good to hand over the governance of Xuchang to you? ”
"Haha!" Guo Jiale said hehehe, "Wonderful! This is a great responsibility! ”
Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu both laughed.
"Staying at night?" Jiang Zhe frowned and muttered, "Why don't I know?" ”
Cao Ying coughed, and didn't give Jiang Zhe a chance to shirk, and hurriedly said, "Since all the monarchs have agreed, I will appoint Shouyi as Xuchang Taishou!" ”
"Wait!" Jiang Zhe seemed to be a little anxious, and his eyes were slightly red.
"Shouyi!" Cao Ying said earnestly, "Shouyi, if there is chaos today, how can Shouyi hide his knowledge and chest? According to what we said in Luoyang, it should be for the benefit of the people, and the people should be righteous, and don't shirk ......"
"It's not!" Jiang Zhe shook his head, looked at Cao Ying hesitantly and asked, "Then how is this month counted?" ”
Cao Ying was happy and helpless, how many people wanted to be the position of Xuchang Taishou, but the person in front of him was ......
"Count it separately!" Cao Ying said helplessly.
"Good!" Jiang Zhe's face was happy, he would have to support two wives in the future, if he had no money, how could he buy new clothes for Xiu'er and Zhaoji? How do I buy jewelry for them?
Xiu'er is okay, Jiang Zhe bought her a bracelet when she was in Xuzhou before, but Cai Yan ......
Whenever Cai Yan secretly glanced at the bracelet on Xiu'er's hand, and then looked at Jiang Zhe with a resentful expression, how could Jiang Zhe afford it, although the bracelet was only two thousand yuan......
"Oh, yes!" Jiang Zhe thought about it and felt that there were some things that had to be reported to Cao Ying, so he informed Cao Ying of the trapping camp between the tiger and leopard battalion and Gao Shun.
"Is there really such a warrior?" When Cao Ying heard what Jiang Zhe said about the Tiger and Leopard Camp, he was extremely shocked, Gao Shun? Cao Ying didn't know Gao Shun again, and he had already left him behind.
"Seriously!" Jiang Zhe said slowly, "I once took Yuan Rang to see it and asked him to try the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, and Yuan Rang said that even the weakest soldiers in the Tiger and Leopard Battalion have the strength of ordinary troops!" ”
Cao Ying laughed and said to Jiang Zhe, "Shouyi is really the one who God has given me to help me!" If it is incorporated into the army, tsk, it is unbelievable......"
Why do you learn to speak from me? Jiang Zhe looked at Cao Ying with a depressed expression.
"Huh?" Feeling that Jiang Zhe seemed to have something to say, Cao Ying asked, "Shouyi, but what I said is inappropriate?" ”
"Huh!" Xi Zhicai said with a smile, "Shouyi must want to say that if the tiger and leopard battalion is dismantled and incorporated into the army, it is not as good as the tiger and leopard battalion among the generals!" Soldiers are precious! ”
Cao Ying suddenly realized, and lowered his head to think, if the tiger and leopard camp has two thousand ...... No, a thousand soldiers of the rank of chief, what will it be like?
The more he thought about it, the more excited Cao Ying became, and said repeatedly, "Okay! Elite soldiers! Elite soldiers! This is the elite soldier! Righteousness, since it surrendered to you in order to repay you for a meal, why don't you be responsible, grace...... I will allow you to be screened for a stroke of 80,000 soldiers, oh! By the way, if there is a suitable person among the 300,000 former Qingzhou Yellow Turban families, I will also allow you to choose the best! I'm even more fine and train the text for you! ”
"Huh?" Jiang Zhe's face suddenly turned bitter, and he said repeatedly, "No, no, Zhe can't train soldiers......
Who knew that Cao Ying looked at Jiang Zhe with an expression that he would never be deceived by you again and said, "Last time I handed over the government affairs of Yanzhou to you, you also said that you were proficient...... Hum! Oops, I suddenly remembered that I don't have much money in my pocket, how can this be good? ”
...... "Count you ruthless!" Jiang Zhe nodded helplessly.
Cao Ying laughed, the depression in Fang Cai's heart suddenly disappeared, and his whole body was much lighter, and he said with a smile, "Shouyi, this matter will trouble you...... It's getting late, so it's better to go home...... Ha ha! ”
Jiang Zhe glanced at Cao Ying, walked out with a depressed face, walked to the door as if he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, there is not much rice and food at home, so I will go back and change my clothes...... Meng De, remember to prepare a bowl and chopsticks for me later......"
"Huh?" Cao Ying saw that he had calculated Jiang Zhe, and he was proud in his heart, when he suddenly heard this, Jiang Zhe walked away in a stunned way, and hurriedly got up and chased him out and shouted, "Jiang Zhe, stop!" and ...... next month with you."
