"Gongzi Cao, I need to explain to you in advance that what you and I agreed before can only be jokes, not truths." Ji Ling explained.

Cao Ang took a sip of mutton soup, smacked his lips, nodded meaningfully, and said, "What the general said is extremely true. Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "But I took it seriously." Cao Ang gasped and said the following, causing Ji Ling to stumble and almost fall down. looked at Cao Ang with a black line on his face, and said, "Gongzi Cao is really elegant, and he came here to entertain me." ”

Ji Ling couldn't understand why this kind of recruiting was on him, "Fuyi, do you have a family in Runan?" Can there be a high hall? Cao Ang asked closely.

"The old mother is still in Langya, and she is taken care of by Humble Jing." Ji Ling said so, Cao Ang nodded and asked, "What position did your beloved Emperor Zhong canonize you?" Ji Ling couldn't help but feel a little complacent on his face when he heard this, and said: "I am ashamed of my trust in Your Majesty, and I am appointed as the general of the town army." Cao Ang pretended to be surprised, and said, "Heavy general? It's amazing. Ji Ling was a little complacent, as if to say, "That's nature." "A certain family is a heavy general under Emperor Zhong, what can I give me if I take refuge under Cao Cao's account? Captain? Captain? The general is up to the sky, right?

Seeing that Ji Ling had already been set, Cao Ang smiled slightly, and said step by step: "I have heard some of your story, and you have already followed your majesty when he was still in the hidden mansion, right?" ”

"Exactly." Ji Ling raised his eyebrows, he never thought that this Cao Ang had really studied himself.

"In that case, Fu Yi is older than the former general of your Zhong Dynasty, Qiao Rui, right?" Cao Ang looked at Ji Ling with deep eyes, Ji Ling's face turned pale, as if this sentence poked his pain, Ji Ling followed Yuan Shu for the earliest, undoubtedly Yuan Cong's old minister, he has made great contributions to Yuan Shu over the years, and he can be regarded as a famous general who knows and can go into battle to kill the enemy, Qiao Rui is much inferior to Ji Ling in terms of qualifications and ability, but Qiao Rui is the former general of Yuan Shuqin, and this rank is more than a star and a half stronger than Ji Ling's town army general. Why is that?

Because Qiao Rui married Yan Xiang's daughter. It's as simple as that, seeing Ji Ling's fists clenched with his own eyes, Cao Ang felt that he needed to add some material, "Who is the little young man who rushed with you today?" What kind of rank is it? "Yan Xing is the son-in-law of Yan Xiang of Xiangguo, although he is young, he was named a general by Yuan Shu! is also much higher than the rank of Ji Ling, a veteran. Why? Because he is the son-in-law of his confidant, it doesn't matter whether his ability is outstanding or not, what matters is the son of his confidant.

Ji Ling began to bite a mouthful of steel teeth, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself down, but how could Cao Ang make him happy. "Your Majesty is too picky, you have fought for him for many years, and you don't know how much credit and hard work, how can you not even be willing to give you this general of the town army? The Liu Qun who was killed by me has a knighthood, right? The three soul tortures in a row forced Ji Ling to be angry, but he couldn't refute it, because Cao Ang was telling the truth, and he had followed Yuan Shu for many years, but he was not even a descendant......

Yan Xiang, Yan Xiang again, after Cao Ang's mention, it seems that everything is inseparable from Yan Xiang, Qiao Rui is his son-in-law, Yan Xing is his sister-in-law, Liu Qun is his protégé, Wang Fang, Liu Xun and other generals have a close relationship with this Xiangguo, and they have made contributions in vain over the years, so it is better for Yan Xiangguo to say a few words in front of His Majesty? I remember that a large part of the reason why Sun Ce set up his own door was because of this. Sometimes there are some things that are not mentioned by others, and Ji Ling will not think too much.

was mentioned by Cao Ang like this, and Ji Ling's mind began to come alive. "During the Langya War last time, His Majesty Yuan didn't let you go home to pick up your old mother, wife and children, right? Didn't even mention it, did you? "If it weren't for the help of Xu Huang and Jia Kui in Langya, who struggled to encircle the county, I am afraid that the family members of the strategists or generals under the princes of Langya County would all be buried in the war.

Speaking of which, Ji Ling still has to thank Cao Cao, he worked hard for Yuan Shu, he didn't wait, he didn't promote, why didn't he even take care of his old mother, wife and children? It's ironic.

"What do you do after such a lord?" Under Cao Ang's bewitchment, Ji Ling subconsciously wanted to nod his head to cater to him, but suddenly came back to his senses. "Thou shalt not bewitch me." Seeing the sweat on his forehead, he was careless, and he almost fell into the road, Cao Ang smiled and didn't care, he didn't expect his incitement tonight to make Ji Ling want to open it, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and bow down. The meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step, Cao Ang is not in a hurry.

"General Fuyi, you have been away from home for a long time, don't you want to visit the aging Gao Tang? Don't you miss your beloved wife who respects each other like a guest? Don't you want to share your family with your faltering children? Ji Ling's breathing became short, and he was struggling violently in his heart, Cao Ang clapped his hands, and a soldier came in from outside the tent, holding a tray in his hand, and put it in front of Ji Ling, which was a hearty meal.

Cao Ang felt that the heat was almost over, so he got up and clapped his hands and said, "If General Fuyi thinks clearly, he will send the soldiers outside the tent to report to me, it's very simple." After that, he was about to walk out of the handsome tent, but when he was about to go out, he paused, glanced back at Ji Ling suddenly, and said softly: "It's really a pity that your ability is under Yuan Highway's tent." It is not worth dying for such people. Ji Ling, who said that he completely ignored and wanted to speak, came out of the handsome tent, but Ji Ling couldn't raise the hand he was about to raise. A long sigh. Lying on the ground, his eyes looking at the top of the tent, his eyes were full of complicated expressions.

Cao Ang went out, stretched, and after thinking about it, he walked towards Xu Gai and Le Qi's tent.

Entered the tent, lit candles inside, flickering dim candlelight, Xu Gai and Le Qi were naked, and they were smearing medicine on each other, seeing Cao Ang coming in, they were about to get up, but they stopped Cao Ang, "Lie down, I'll give you both medicine." The eldest brother naturally had to obey the order, the two honestly lay on their respective couches, Cao Ang walked between the two, squatted down, was shocked, sprinkled the medicine powder on his hands, wiped it with both hands, medicated the backs of the two, and looked at the new injuries on the backs of the two.

Cao Ang pursed his lips, these two are the youngest brothers among the sworn brothers, but they are very brave and strong, Cao Ang knows that the medicine will definitely hurt at this moment, the two frowned but did not make a sound. "Does it hurt?" Cao Ang asked softly.

"Look at what the eldest brother said, what are these little injuries? Don't worry. Although Xu Gai grinned in pain, he still pretended to be relaxed.

"Yes, yes, the fourth brother is very right, brother doesn't need to worry, how can I be afraid of this pain if I am not a naughty child...... Oops hey! Le Qi wanted to echo Xu Gai, but Cao Ang's hand for his medicine was heavy, and he pressed it on the wound, and the painful Le Qi's face turned pale, and cold sweat poured down.

"Isn't it tight? Why did you cry out in pain? Le Qi rolled his eyes, pretending not to hear, lying on the couch as if he was fainting in pain, Xu Gai was afraid that Cao Ang would also give him such a play, so he hurriedly smiled at Cao Ang: "It's still within the range of bearing." ”

"I feel honored to have my eldest brother help me with medicine. The pain can be endured, and it is not tight. Le Qi said in a muffled voice.

Cao Ang didn't know what to say, and scolded with a smile: "Two stinky boys." "The two of them only laughed, but they did not speak." There's something I have to warn you two guys. Hearing the eldest brother's instructions, the two of them hurriedly cheered up and listened, "I have no objection to you waiting for you to go to capture the flag first, but don't be reckless in everything, you need to know that manpower is sometimes poor, don't do things that can't be done." Cao Ang paused and said, "At the very least, after having a wife and a small family, the jurisdiction over you will be a little more lenient." ”

The two of them were a little stunned, the emotional eldest brother came not only to give us medicine, but also to urge us to get married, Mo felt that fifteen or sixteen years old was still the grade of grass and warbler flying, in ancient times, especially at this time, even if you were an adult at the age of twelve or thirteen, you could marry and start a family. After all, in this year, population is an important strategic resource. Therefore, they are married very early, and there are very few people like Cao Ang who have not yet married.

"Marrying a daughter-in-law is not as interesting as fighting." Xu Gai pouted and said. Cao Ang patted the back of his head and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you will know that some battles are much more interesting than taking the flag first." Le Qi asked a little ignorantly: "Do you have to fight to marry a daughter-in-law?" Cao Ang was stunned, not knowing how to explain what he had just said, and waved his hand: "I told you now, you don't understand, but you will know later." ”

"Oh." The latter responded, and Cao Ang slandered in his heart: "Two little boys, it's right if you don't know, you can't wait until you get married, and you don't want to lead the army to fight yet." Cao Ang felt that there were some words he couldn't say at this time, and they could only slander in their hearts.

This expedition against Yuan Shu, whether it is successful or not, the day he returns to Xu Du is the time to get engaged to Zhuge Xin, and he can be regarded as a real "settler" in this era.

"Why did the eldest brother come from? Don't you miss your daughter-in-law? Xu Gai said with a smile.

Le Qi also had a bad smile on his face, but he didn't dare to say it to Xu Gai in general. Cao Ang smiled knowingly and said: "Yes, I have been away from home for a long time, not only do I miss her, but I also feel a little homesick." ”

Xu Gai "......"

Joy "......"

Cao Ang gave the two of them good medicine, tied a tight bandage, clapped his hands and said: "Take care of it, there should be no siege in the next two days, take good care of your injuries and ensure that you will be alive in the future." ”

"That's natural, big brother rest assured." Le Qi hurriedly said.

Cao Ang nodded, got up and walked out of the tent, a soldier came over, pointed to the tent where Ji Ling was not far away, and reported: "Childe, that General Ji Ling has been muttering to himself in the tent. Cao Ang smiled and asked, "Oh, have you ever heard him say something?" The soldier scratched his head and meditated: "I vaguely heard something, a lifetime of fame, the old and the young in the family, difficult to achieve, hateful and so on." ”

Cao Ang chuckled and said, "As long as he doesn't kill himself and doesn't run away, let him go." ”

"Whoa." The soldier retreated. Cao Ang yawned, had a little sleepiness, and walked to his camp, returned to the camp after Cao Ang's wide coat washed slightly, took off the peace charm hanging on his neck, and rubbed it in his hand, this talisman was still Zhuge Xin for him in Xudu's Qingyang Guan begged, and he had been wearing it on his body, except for sleeping for a while, he put the talisman to his mouth and kissed it lightly, put it under the silk pillow, and covered it with a blanket......
