—177 A.D.——

Obviously, Cao Cao's small abacus was recognized, although he cleaned up Jian Shuo's uncle under the banner of Zhang Rang, which caused a lot of contradictions between the two ten permanent servants, but it was far from the point of tearing his face, so after the two sides reached a consensus under the mediation of the intermediary, he directly kicked the troublesome Cao Mengde out with a turn of face.

Because Cao Song was the Great Si Nong at the time, he controlled most of the income of Emperor Ling, and Yuan Shao, who had to follow Cao Cao, also had the Yuan family of the Fourth and Third Dukes as the backing, and the Ten Standing Servants did not dare to do things in the end, and did not send Cao Cao to any border county.

Dunqiu, which belongs to Dongjun, is separated from Luoyang by a whole Yanzhou, which can be said to have been completely separated from the political center, in addition, because Yanzhou does not have a family similar to the Yuan family and the Yang family in a leading position, the division of power in the entire state is relatively chaotic, no matter what decree Cao Cao wants to make, there will always be more than one side of the interests of the damaged people will stop it.

Obviously, the idea of the Ten Standing Servants was to secretly demote this "not afraid of the powerful" Wei Mingsheng in the north of Luoyang, and put him in a position where it was basically impossible to make political achievements for a few years, and then find some mistakes to punish him after his deeds were forgotten.

"Dunqiu" was renamed "Shunqiu" during Wang Mang's period, perhaps the implication of the ten permanent servants' disposal is that if you don't "obey" us, you have to stop here.

Although the escort team of the Cao family and the Yuan family was huge, they could not stay in Dunqiu for a long time, in fact, according to the Han law, the transfer of officials had to go alone, unless it was a cadre of subordinates who did not serve and only served as staff, so those who followed Cao Cao, in addition to those servants, were only Yuan Shao, Ding Yi and Bian Aya, who had just married Cao Cao, and ...... Cai Wan, Cai Zhenji, and Cai Yan, Cai Wenji, who are only four years old, got in somehow.

"Go back? Don't be stupid, Gongzi Cao, who do you think our sisters had to leave Luoyang for? When Cao Cao basically persuaded this Miss Cai to return to Luoyang without much hope, she said as expected: "Your 'firebreak' strategy has been completed well, and the ten permanent servants are in a hurry, Zhang Rang didn't have the heart to pay attention to the fact that he had been robbed of a singer, but in order to make up for the rift between the two, Jian Shuo selected singers and dancers to send to him, and even hit me with the idea~"

You should be angry, but what's the deal with your "they have a good eye" expression? Cao Cao had nothing to say and waited for Cai Wan to continue.

"Of course, they didn't dare to treat a daughter of the imperial history like a folk girl, but they just said that His Majesty admired my talent and wanted me to enter the palace to perform a song, and quietly put pressure on my father." Cai Wan said with a sneer.

"Hah! Just kidding, the mediocre emperor was interfered with by his relatives when he was a child, and he hated strong and courageous women the most, and the concubines he received were all soft and weak, sad and sad, I was afraid that I would tremble with fear when I saw Zhen Ji. The "stand-in" laughed on the side.

The "stand-in" is now more and more powerful, and when he was young, he couldn't leave him for too far and too long, and he has been able to go out for a day or two recently, which is naturally a good thing for collecting intelligence, but his personality is really - could it be that those are actually his own real thoughts? Cao Cao couldn't help but be so suspicious.

"So, you were afraid of implicating Mr. Cai, and you were worried that he and the servants would not be able to take care of Wen Ji, so you followed?" Cao Cao asked.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of, the old man has been upright all his life, and it is almost impossible to find out his fault," Cai Wan shook his wrist out of thin air and plucked the strings: "I'm afraid, I beat all the ten permanent servants, what should I do if Wang Yue comes to trouble me?" ”

At this time, even the sharp-tongued "stand-in" had nothing to say, and in the end, Cao Cao had to place their sisters alone in a courtyard near the county government, and sent some maids and guards to take care of them and make a protective appearance.

Yanzhou Governor's Office, Chen Liu.

"Meng De, when are you going back to Dunqiu to clean up those officials of the family who are against the yin and yang?" In a restaurant, Cao Cao, who had changed into civilian clothes, was looking out of the window, while Yuan Shao was eating with his head bored, and only after he seemed to feel almost full did he raise his head and ask: "If you want me to say, just arrest them all, and then replace them with obedient people, and everything will be solved." ”

"This matter is not as simple as you think, originally," Cao Cao shook his head slowly, looking out the window with eyes as sharp as a falcon: "A group of small officials in the county town dare to disobey the orders of the officials appointed by the imperial court, if there is no one behind the command, even Ang'er will not believe it." ”

Because the work of Dunqiu could not be carried out, Cao Cao found Chen Liu, but the clue was lost, and it was noon, so he and Yuan Shao and Cai Wan Cai Yan who came with him found a restaurant to eat, and the Cai sisters were in another private room next to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at this time.

"Oh, my eldest nephew is quite clever." Yuan Shao nodded again and again.

"I'm too clever, and the little imp cries when he sees me...... Anyway, how did he see it......" The "stand-in" said sullenly beside him.

The fact that Cao Ang is now half a year old, is Cao Cao's eldest son, and was born to his wife Ding Yi, a fact that surprised Yigan, who obviously knew how much Cao Cao liked the concubine Bian Aya, and only Cao Cao's mother, Ding and Ding Yi themselves, were not surprised by this.

After that, everyone reacted one after another, the wife and concubine entered the door at the same time, although the matter was urgent, but Ding's mother must have been dissatisfied, probably through Ding and Cao Cao reached an agreement, such as before the wife Ding Yi gave birth to the eldest son, the concubine Bian Aya must not be pregnant.

Moreover, unlike what outsiders imagine, Cao Cao's wife and concubine have a good relationship, which is probably related to the fact that the Ding family has long done ideological work, and Bian Aya will not fight for anything as a singer.

As for the "stand-in", he was very embarrassed to see Cao Cao's wife and concubine - even if others could not see him, so after Cao Cao got married, he no longer entered the back house, and only stayed in the study or guest room for the night.

But unexpectedly, Cao Ang seems to have been able to see the "stand-in" since he was born, and occasionally struggled to hug him when he saw it, Ding Yi or Bian Aya naturally didn't know what the little boy was struggling with in the air, and after forcibly taking it away, it was a big cry, and now it has become a kind of conditional chain: seeing the "stand-in", hugging, not hugging, crying sadly, and finally simplified to crying when he saw the "stand-in".

For this kind of wonderful and funny misunderstanding, Cao Cao will not tell the "stand-in".

"Heh......" Thinking of his tiger-headed son, Cao Cao's face softened slightly: "I see that Wen Ji likes him very much, and he has a sister who has been 'taken care of' since he was a child, which is very good." ”

"No, no, according to the seniority, Wen Ji is Ang'er's aunt." Yuan Shao's brain turned fast this time.

"Is it Auntie? Are you sure? Not an aunt? Cao Cao deliberately put on a puzzled face.

"Ah...... Is it Auntie? Wait, I'll calculate, I'm the same year as Meng De, it was the first year of Yongshou, and now it's the sixth year of Xiping...... So Meng De and I should be twenty-two, and Zhen Ji is about ...... age," Yuan Shao began to wrench his fingers.

"Hee-hee~An old man with a bad brain~" A cute little girl in emerald green clothes and her hair tied into a pair of balls ran in from outside the door and grimaced at Yuan Shao: "No matter how old my sister is, I am Aang's aunt~"

"Ah, I see, Mengde, you lied to me again." Yuan Shao slapped the table.

Or as always, three sentences to deceive...... Cao Cao turned his face: "I didn't say that seniority is related to age. ”

"Master Mengde," facing Cao Cao, Cai Wenji saluted in a proper manner, but because her body was too petite, her movements were out of shape, giving people a funny and cute feeling: "My sister said that she has already sensed the clue, and she is using the 'Confusing Sound Technique' to lead that person to this side, you just need to hold it and wait to run past the door of the hotel, the fat man who is being chased." ”

————

"Don't run away from thieves!" "Stop him for me!"

A moment later, with a rush of soldiers on the streets of the market, a well-dressed fat man who was obviously a rich man was running in front, and behind was a sturdy bald young man with a vicious face chasing after him.

"Huh...... It's really an acquaintance. Cao Cao looked at the fat man from near and far and sneered.

This person called himself Li Yong when he was in Dunqiu, and he was a businessman who specialized in purchasing materials for the yamen in various places, and had a semi-official status, and when many petty officials and officials violated Cao Cao's decrees, only he sent the purchase items requested by Cao Cao as scheduled, but the problem is that he declared that he was going to Xuzhou, why did he appear in Yanzhou's administrative office Chen Liu earlier than himself? The direction is completely reversed.

"Tsk, careless," said the "stand-in," said the "stand-in," said slightly annoyed, "and I found that he had never contacted any family or official in the territory of Dunqiu, but presumably orders and instructions had already been conveyed in the process of completing the transaction. ”

"The power of the Yanzhou family is complicated, and we can't find out whose territory Dunqiu is for a while, but now it seems that it is Chen Liu, who has not been taken to heart," Cao Cao sneered: "-Zhang." ”

"Huh? Isn't that Zhang Mengzhuo's home? Yuan Shao was surprised.

"That's why we are so clear about our preferences and styles, Zhang Miao said that he is not valued in the family, it is really humble, and their family is obviously optimistic about him to put eyes and ears around him." Cao Cao shook his head: "If you have the opportunity, help Meng Zhuo to come back and inherit the family business, such a small family will be destroyed sooner or later because of provoking people who shouldn't be messed with." ”

"Just like you?" "Stand-in" teased.

"After being captured, take it back to Dunqiu directly," Cao Cao tightened his shirt and climbed up to the window of the restaurant: "We don't need him to explain anything, if we shake out the relationship with the Zhang family, it will be unfavorable to the current situation, we just need to spread a rumor in Dunqiu that 'Li Yong was captured from Chenliu', and those little officials who see the wind and rudder will be obedient." ”

During the conversation, the sturdy fat man had already walked downstairs to the restaurant, Cao Cao suddenly pounced from the upstairs, took advantage of the situation to directly press Li Yong to the ground, and put the sword on the side of his neck: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss it very much, Li Da businessman who was originally going to Xuzhou?" ”

"Uh-that's, it's a misunderstanding!" The fat man's eyes rolled.

"Unfortunately, we don't need you to explain anything in our plan." The "stand-in" knocked the merchant unconscious with a swing of the hilt of his sword.

"Hey! That's my prey! At this time, the bald young man also chased after him: "He cheated my fellow villager out of a large sum of money, and I was about to arrest him!" ”

"Hey! This guy seems to be very strong! The fat man was almost panting to death, and he didn't even sweat. The "stand-in" couldn't see each other, and circled around the bald youth.

"Oh? Only deceived your fellow townsman? Cao Cao looked the young man up and down: "But he deceived me for an entire county, I have to arrest him and go back to give an explanation to the villagers, what do you say?" ”

"This ......" the young man scratched his bald head: "Naturally, a whole county is more important, I have to go with you, I have to ensure that the people in your county town will not beat him to death, and the last breath has to be left to my fellow villagers." ”

So your custom there is to just beat the liar to death?

"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, the people from Chen Liuyamen should be coming soon," Cao Cao looked at the crowd around him and pointed: "Let's talk about the specific situation." ”

"Howler!" The bald young man raised his hand and grabbed him, grabbed the fat man's collar and lifted him up and carried him to his shoulder: "Where are you going?" ”

"Dunqiu, it's not too far from here, but we have to go to the carriage and horse shop to get our car first," Cao Cao led the way: "My name is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, I don't know the name of the strong man?" ”

"My name is Dian Wei, a local, I don't have a word yet, just call me Lao Dian." Dian Wei carried the fat man on his shoulder, as if he had no burden to follow all the way.

At this time, above the restaurant.

"Uh-uh-stuck-" Yuan Shao, who also wanted to learn from Cao Cao, jumped out of the window, but was stuck in the window and couldn't move.

"See, eating too much is the end." While talking to Cai Yan, Cai Wan lifted her sturdy and heavy gonghou to approach: "I'm here to help you." ”

"That's not a one-man effort, is it!?"

"Bang!"
