"Ladies and gentlemen, have something to say...... People say that meeting is fate, and we have met twice anyway, and this fate is amazing. …… Let's just reveal the previous grievances, and it's settled. ”

Under the strange eyes of the black feather crows, Cao Cao's tongue was like a flower, and he was stunned that they didn't have the slightest temper.

In fact, there is no enmity between Cao Cao and the black feather crows, and even Cao Cao has a bag of dried meat for the black feather crows, but the bad thing is that Cao Cao has a bad temperament, even if he is gracious, he is not good at graciousness, and he has to find something awkward for the other party. No, he was 'grudged' by the black feather crows, and when they thought of Cao Cao laughing in the galloping carriage and mocking them as stupid, the black feather crows hated them so much.

However, on the other hand, it can also be seen that Cao Cao is still quite a bachelor, seeing that he can't hide, he simply took the initiative to visit Zhang Huang and others, and then said a lot of good things, so that the black feather crows who wanted to give Cao Cao a little color were unable to speak.

"Come on, so be it." Seeing Cao Cao, the future overlord of the Central Plains, with a hippie smile full of flattery, Zhang Huang shook his head and stopped Cao Cao's continued agitation. Seeing Zhang Huang's statement, the rest of the black feather crows naturally didn't want to mention the events of the previous days, and after snorting at Cao Cao a few times, the matter would be revealed.

"Didn't Brother Cao go to Chenliu? How did you come here? Still with King Chen? After some jokes, Zhang Huang finally asked about the doubts in his heart.

Cao Cao did not answer Zhang Huang immediately, but glanced at the tower-like majestic and reckless man Xiahou Dun beside him with a strange expression, this Xiahou Junjie, who was afraid that even his brain was full of muscles, after greeting Li Tong, Chen Zhi, Zang Ba, and Tai Shici in a friendly manner, he once again stood beside Cao Cao as if nothing had happened.

"Yuan Rang, you go to Meng Zhuo's side." Cao Cao waved his hand at Xiahoudun and said, Meng Zhuo in his mouth. refers to Chen Liutai, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Mengzhuo.

Xiahoudun didn't seem to understand Cao Cao's deep meaning, his face was full of doubts, and he said in a humble voice, "I naturally follow Meng De, what do I do with Zhang Mengzhuo?" ”

[This bastard!] ]

Cao Cao's teeth itched with hatred in his heart, but his face showed a bit of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice, "Yuan Rang, you must know that the current world is not very stable. With His Royal Highness King Chen and Mrs. Zhang guarding over there, you naturally have to focus on the overall situation...... Be obedient, go and escort His Royal Highness King Chen and Taishou Zhang. ”

"I'm not going!" Xiahoudun had an expression of 'King Chen and Zhang Miao's life and death are none of my business'.

Cao Cao was half angry in his heart, he knew it with reason and moved with affection, so he persuaded him for a while, and only then did he convince Xiahoudun a little.

"That'...... What about you, Mengde? ”

Seeing that Xiahoudun finally relented, Cao Cao put his arm around Zhang Huang's shoulders and said with a smile, "Here is Little Brother Zhang, as well as Li Tong, Chen Zhi and other brothers of the Black Feather Crow." Isn't it enough to protect the? In contrast, whether it is Chen Wang or Zhang Mengzhuo, even if one of them loses a slight, I am afraid that it will stir up storms in my Yuzhou. Even, even the reputation of my Cao clan and Xiahou clan will be damaged. …… Others will say, isn't there the Cao family and the Xiahou family following? How could His Royal Highness King Chen and Zhang Taishou be in danger? In the end, Cao Cao had a sad expression on his face, almost worried about his family's reputation. Xiahou was stunned for a moment.

"This ...... Then, then I went. Entrusting Cao Cao to Zhang Huang and others, Xiahoudun hurriedly went to Chen Wang Liu Chong and Chen Liutai to guard Zhang Miao.

Looking at the back of Xiahoudun leaving, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief. The sorrow on his face suddenly vanished.

"Brother Cao is not kind, bullying honest people like this......" Even if Zhang Huang was very clear about the relationship between Cao Cao and Xiahoudun, he couldn't help but scream for Xiahoudun.

"How can Little Brother Zhang understand the bitterness in Cao's heart!" Cao Cao looked deeply affected, shook his head and sighed, "With such a fool by your side, it is a lot of ...... Alas! Oh, Brother Zhang can just call the word Mengde. ”

Because he had seen Xiahoudun expose Cao Cao's 'shortcomings' in front of outsiders, Zhang Huang could understand it and nodded sympathetically.

"Where did you just go?" As soon as Xiahou left, no one came to expose Cao Cao's shortcomings of 'short', Cao Cao had a bright smile on his face, touched the short beard on his chin and said with a smile, "Just now, Brother Zhang asked why Cao came here, right?" That is true. A few days ago, Cao's friend Zhang Miao was appointed by the imperial court as Chen Liutaishou and sent a letter to inform Cao. Therefore, Cao took Yuan Rang and went to Chenliu together to celebrate Meng Zhuojun. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Huang nodded, because they were met by Cao Cao on his way to Chenliu.

"After arriving in Chenliu, Cao found out that His Royal Highness Liu Chong, the prince of Chen, was also in Chenliu......"

"His Royal Highness King Chen personally congratulated Zhang Taishou?" Zhang Huang felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, after all, no matter how Zhang Miao was, he was just the Taishou of Chen Liujun, just a courtier, and Liu Chong, the king of Chen, was a son of the royal family surnamed Liu, and he was the prince and king of Chen State, so it was the identity of a 'half-monarch', so it was impossible for Liu Pet to congratulate Zhang Miao in person, right? At most, send someone to congratulate you with some gifts, and you'll be done.

Unless Zhang Miao has a personal relationship with King Chen and Liu Chong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huang asked curiously, "Zhang Taishou has a friendship with His Royal Highness King Chen?" ”

As if he had seen through Zhang Huang's thoughts, Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand to explain, "Little Brother Zhang misunderstood, His Royal Highness King Chen didn't know that Brother Meng Zhuo's new Chen Liutaishou was just at the right time. …… Does Little Brother Zhang know that His Royal Highness King Chen loves hunting? ”

Zhang Huang shook his head and said truthfully: "Although I passed through the country of Chen a few days ago, I know very little about His Royal Highness King Chen. ”

Cao Cao nodded, and then showed a little admiration in his eyes, and introduced to Zhang Huang, "His Royal Highness King Chen Liu Chong, who is good at riding horses and archery, has a hundred shots, and is bold and upright, and is the leading hero in my Yuzhou......"

"Good at bows and arrows, 100 shots?" Tai Shi Ci showed an incredible look, you must know that his archery skills have always been praised by Li Tong and others, but even so, he still can't do every shot. Tai Shi Ci didn't believe that a pampered prince could have such superb archery skills.

Cao Cao didn't care about being interrupted by Tai Shi Ci, on the contrary, he seemed to faintly see something in Tai Shi Ci's unconvinced eyes, and laughed in a low voice. "Just the day before yesterday, Cao saw His Royal Highness King Chen pull a three-stone iron-tire strong bow and shoot a harrier three hundred steps away, and all ten arrows were hit." (Harrier's, the ancient name for a target.) ）

"......" Tai Shi Ci was full of disbelief when he heard this. Although he could barely pull out the strong bow of the three stones, but to use this strong bow to shoot a target three hundred steps away, and it was all hit by ten arrows, this incredible achievement Tai Shi Ci obviously couldn't do, at least he couldn't do it in front of him.

Seeing that Tai Shici's face was full of horror, Cao Cao didn't care. After all, he was also shocked by the divine skills of King Chen and Liu Pet at that time.

"His Royal Highness King Chen is different from the ordinary pampered children of the royal family, he is martial by nature and loves hunting. No, a few days ago, His Royal Highness King Chen led his henchmen, Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun and Luo Xiaoyuan, with more than a dozen guards to go out hunting together. But I don't want the heavens to be beautiful, when His Royal Highness King Chen was chasing a roe deer, it snowed heavily and the wind blew fiercely. Wait for the weather to improve a bit. His Royal Highness King Chen realized that he had inadvertently come to Chenliu County. After thinking about it for a while, His Royal Highness King Chen decided to visit the local Taishou in Chenliu, firstly, because the things brought by His Royal Highness King Chen and his party were all pulled in the hunting station, and they had no money and no food in their stomachs; Second, let's go. According to the criminal law of our Han Dynasty, princes and kings are not allowed to leave their fiefdoms without authorization. …… At this time, it coincided with Brother Meng Zhuo's first ascension to the position of Taishou, and the families and celebrities in the county all came to congratulate him, and he heard that His Royal Highness King Chen came to visit. Brother Meng Zhuo welcomed His Royal Highness King Chen into the ......"

[It turned out to be a coincidence......]

Zhang Huang nodded in relief and asked in surprise, "Then why did you come to Yingchuan Academy again?" ”

"It's not because I learned that the students of Xiangyang Academy came to challenge Yingchuan Academy." Cao Cao said with a smile. "Although Yingchuan Academy is the family business of the Xun family, it is undeniable that it is the pride of my Yuzhou, how can I fall in front of outsiders? …… Among the children of the scholar clan who went to congratulate Brother Meng Zhuo, one of them learned about this, and inadvertently mentioned it during the banquet, His Royal Highness King Chen and Brother Meng Zhuo didn't say a word, put down the wine glass and rushed over, saying that they wanted to cheer for Yingchuan Academy! ”

"So that's ......" After Cao Cao's explanation, Zhang Huang finally understood why Chen Wang, Liu Chong, and Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao would bring a large group of people to Yingchuan Academy, and it turned out that they were here to cheer for Yingchuan Academy. Thinking about it, after all, the three brothers Chen Liu, Yingchuan, and Chen Guo were already close to each other, and under the same hatred and hatred, how could they not allow the students of Xiangyang Academy to show off their power here.

Of course, this is the idea of Chen Wang Liu Chong, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao and others, and in Zhang Huang's opinion, in this competition, Xiangyang Academy is not the opponent of Yingchuan Academy. To put it simply, it is actually the same whether Cao Cao and others come or not.

"Are those guests all guests from Lord Zhang's mansion?" Zhang Huang pointed to the big shots who Xun Yu, Xun Chen, Xun Yue, and Xun Yan were receiving in the distance and asked, "Is it famous?" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Huang strangely, and then remembered that Zhang Huang was not from this county, so he patiently introduced, "Have you seen those two brothers?" That is the son of the Shu family in Chen Liukao City, the elder brother is called Shu Hao, the word Boying, the younger brother is called Shu Shao, the word Zhongying, all of them are well-educated. The two brothers went on a harmonious blind date and revitalized the Shu family foundation together, which has become a local beautiful conversation. ”

[no impression......]

Zhang Huang smacked his lips, he didn't know that those two brothers had also served as the governor of a place under Yuan Shu in history.

"Look at that one." Cao Cao pointed to a burly, succulent man among the guests in the distance, and said in a low voice, "See?" This person is called Weizi, don't look like he looks like he looks five big and three thick, and he has a fight with Yuan Rang, but in fact, this person is a rich man in Xiangyi County, Chenliu County, and he is not much better than the Cao family...... you're tight on money these days, and I'm thinking about whether or not I want to contact this person to see, haha......"

(Wei Z was the one who gave Cao Cao all his wealth to sponsor him when he raised his army.) Later, he defected to Zhang Miao and was killed in battle between Zhang Miao and Cao Cao in Xingyang and Dong Zhuojun. There is a son named Wei Zhen, Cao Cao regarded him as a parent, and he served as an official in Cao Wei until Sikong and Situ, and was posthumously awarded the title of Taiwei after his death. ）

Zhang Huang glanced at Cao Cao in surprise, and said strangely, "You are the eldest son of the Cao family, will you be short of money in your hands?" ”

Cao Cao showed a little embarrassment on his face, and said, "That's Little Brother Zhang who doesn't know the inside story of my Cao family." If the father is here, there will definitely be no shortage of money in the hands, but if the father is not there......"

Zhang Huang's heart moved when he heard this, and he remembered that when Cao Cao was first in the Cao family, he was actually very unvalued by the elders, because this guy's behavior was too absurd. For example. The son of a minister in the court got married, and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and a group of young children from the family had nothing to do, and climbed the wall at night to sneak into the house, just to see if the bride was beautiful and moving.

Of course, this is just a story recorded in the wild history, and it cannot be used as a basis, but in terms of the temperament of Cao Cao and Cao Mengde in front of Zhang Huang, Zhang Huang really can't say whether the future overlord of the Central Plains really did this kind of messy thing when he was young.

[Why don't you ask the person concerned?] ]

Glancing at Cao Cao, Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel excited. But then he dismissed the idea. After all, it can be seen from Xiahoudun's incident that Cao Cao pays more attention to face, and it would be fine if he didn't step on a mine, but if he stepped on a mine, because of this kind of trivial matter and the future overlord of the Central Plains, Zhang Huang didn't think it was worth it.

And Cao Cao didn't think as much as Zhang Huang, and he was still happy to introduce the guests to Zhang Huang: "The tall and thin one, the one standing alone on the side, do you see?" This person's name is Gao Jing. Because Cao hasn't talked to him yet, he doesn't know his name, but this person is from Chen Liuyu County. …… Don't look at that 'stuffy gourd' tall and thin. seems to be weak, but according to Yuan Rang, this person's martial arts are not weak, and he also has literary talent. can be called a talent who is both civil and military, but he doesn't like to talk. ”

[Stuffy gourd ......]

Zhang Huang looked at Cao Cao in astonishment, and then saw that there was a young scribe who did not speak not far from Gao Jing. Curious, he asked, "Who is that?" ”

Cao Cao raised his head and glanced at what Zhang Huang was pointing at, snorted lightly, and said lightly, "Oh, Brother Zhang is talking about that person, that person's name is Bian Rang, the word Wenli, and he once went to visit Guo Tai and Guo Linzong with a kid named Xie Zhen in Runan, which is what we now call 'Guo Youdao', and he can be regarded as half of Guo Shi's disciples." ”

Seeing Cao Cao's disapproving expression, Zhang Huang asked suspiciously, "Brother Meng De seems to have some opinions on this person?" ”

"Humph!" Cao Cao sneered when he heard this, and said lightly, "I can't talk about opinions." It's just that I think 'it's hard to live up to the fame'...... I thought he was a talent of Jingwei and Zuoguo, but he didn't want to only know how to resign, he was really blind to his fame! ”

Zhang Huang was stunned, but anyway, he hadn't heard of Bian Rang, and he had no friendship with him, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Cao Cao's sneering and pouting.

Cao Cao introduced the dozens of guests who had heads and faces in Chen, one by one, some of them were impressed, and some of them were not. After Cao Cao finished introducing them one by one, the students of Xiangyang Academy and Yingchuan Academy on the stage also judged the winners and losers of the 'ceremony' competition, but there was no winner and there was a draw.

[The Xun family is looking at Xiangyang Academy for face? ] ]

Zhang Huang pondered with bad intentions, after all, he didn't take a closer look at the students on the stage at all. But then again, even if he takes a closer look, he may not be able to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages.

But it's not so good, the boring competition of 'Li' finally got through, Xun Yu appeared on the stage again, and told everyone next to the stands that after lunch, they would try to 'shoot' in the afternoon. Incredibly, Chen Wang Liu Pet has become the chief examiner of this competition, and the afternoon 'shooting' competition is no longer limited to one student, as long as you want to join, you can sign up. It is said that the final winner can also get a special professor from Chen Wang Liu Chong.

[That prince, this is not enough to be lively enough for a few people?] ]

Zhang Huang couldn't laugh or cry when he learned about it, and suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and turned to ask Li Daodao, "What about Ziyi?" ”

"Sign up." Li Tonghun replied nonchalantly.

Zhang Huang was stunned for a while, and said in surprise, "He is not from Yingchuan Academy, what is his name?" ”

"Then what the prince said, anyone can sign up, and then Ziyi will sign up." Chen Zhi shrugged and said.

Seeing Li Tong and Chen Dao with indifferent expressions, Zhang Huang had a vague bad premonition, and said in his heart that if the afternoon's 'shooting' field was finally won by Tai Shici, what should Yingchuan Academy and Xiangyang Academy do? After all, Tai Shici's archery skills, Zhang Huang is still quite trusted.

"Suddenly a little headache......" Zhang Huang sighed helplessly, drawing laughter from Cao Cao beside him. Only then did Cao Cao understand why when he was made miserable by the silly Xiahou, Zhang Huang would look at him with that sympathetic look that seemed to have a deep understanding.

"This is fate...... Do not fight against fate! Cao Cao patted Zhang Huang on the shoulder, as a comfort, but unfortunately Zhang Huang did not appreciate it.

When Zhang Huang, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others went to eat, the servants of the Xun family had erected a harrier in the open space on the east side of the high platform in front of the Confucian Temple, that is, the arrow target.

In order to take care of the weak arm strength of the students, the bow used in the competition was an ordinary bow with one stone, and the distance was only 80 steps. In Zhang Huang's opinion, this kind of Cheng dù competition, Tai Shici can win with his eyes closed.

"First round, White Arrow. …… All the candidates lined up to prepare. Xun Yu's shout interrupted Zhang Huang's thoughts.

Glancing at Tai Shi Ci, the only tall young man in the row of 'shooting' candidates, Zhang Huang sighed secretly, thinking in his heart how he would explain to Yingchuan Academy after Tai Shi Ci won. Come to think of it, how could they, who were originally guests at Yingchuan Academy, do this kind of thing to declare the army and seize the master?

However, to Zhang Huang's surprise, in the first round of the 'shooting' field, Tai Shici lost, and he lost cleanly, and he didn't even score a point out of five out of five.

"How is that possible?!"

Zhang Huang couldn't hide the shock in his heart and shouted loudly. (To be continued......)
