Cao Jun camp.

Due to the cold weather in the past few days, Yang Ling planned to eat a hot pot on a whim.

He first found a table, hollowed it out, and placed an iron pot on it.

Then put a pot of charcoal under the iron pot.

After a while, the water in the pot began to boil.

Yang Ling sat leisurely on the collapse, commanding Zhao Yun,

"Put the big bones in to make the soup first, and then put the hot pot base in it."

It didn't take long for a scent to hit the face.

"This ...... It smells so good! ”

Zhao Yun, who had always been calm, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"This is where to go, wait until you eat it with sesame paste, then it is called a fragrant!"

Yang Ling laughed and put the ingredients prepared in advance.

Estimating that the time was about to be about the same, he was just about to put down his chopsticks when he heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Cao Cao walked in with a smile on his face.

Looking at the posture, it must have reached some kind of unspeakable PY deal with Yuan Shao.

"Good news, sir, I just ...... Is this antique soup? ”

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, his nose twitched, and his eyes fell on the hot pot in front of Yang Ling.

"Hmm...... It can be understood this way. ”

Yang Ling nodded.

"But why does it smell so good?"

Cao Cao's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

In ancient times, there was a way to eat similar to hot pot, and the ancients named it antique soup.

It is named because the food is put into the boiling soup base and makes a "clattering" sound.

"I just added a little spice."

Yang Ling said with a smile,

"If Cao Gong doesn't dislike it, why don't you eat it together?"

"That's the best!"

Cao Cao is also a food lover, so naturally he will not refuse.

He sat down, picked up a piece of meat and sent it to his mouth!

When the food is imported, the various flavors of fragrant, spicy and sour, mixed with the rich aroma of sesame sauce, deeply stimulate Cao Cao's taste buds!

"Oh my God, this is delicious!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh!

After this mouthful, the cold of the weather has been completely dispelled, and the whole body is warm!

He didn't hesitate, immediately raised his chopsticks and attacked again!

My duck intestines!

Yang Ling screamed in his heart, but he could only shake his head helplessly.

Just as he was about to beckon Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to sit down, he looked up and found that the two of them were already sitting at the table at some point, working with Cao Cao to eliminate food!

Something without conscience!

Yang Ling hurriedly sat down and picked up chopsticks!

When Cao Cao was sweating profusely from eating, he slowly stopped his chopsticks, and he was still unfinished.

"Mr. is really different from ordinary people, even the antique soup he makes is so delicious!"

"Cao Gong has a good reputation."

Yang Ling hurriedly waved his hand, for fear that Cao Cao would ask for another meal.

You must know that there are not many bags of hot pot base in his bag.

"Cao Gong just said there is good news?"

Yang Ling diverted the topic and asked.

Cao Cao slapped his forehead and said with a smile,

"It's all because Mr. is so good at craft, so I forgot about my business!"

"Mr. is really clever, after I proposed to dedicate the jade seal of the country to Yuan Benchu, he agreed to all the conditions we proposed!"

Yang Ling just smiled slightly, not too excited.

This is a jade seal that symbolizes the identity of the Son of Heaven!

With it, you can rightfully ascend the throne as emperor!

After seeing the chaos in the world, Yuan Shao also had ambitions, how could he not be tempted by the jade seal of the country?

Yang Ling took a step ahead of Sun Jian and took the heirloom jade seal from Luoyang City, in order to make Cao Cao and Yuan Shao reach a deal.

Cao Cao passed on the jade seal of the country at the expense of Yuan Shao's strong support for him as the Taishou of Dongjun.

With Yuan Shao's support, no matter how dissatisfied Liu Dai is, he doesn't dare to mess around openly!

That's enough!

"Mr. is so helpful, Cao Mengde must remember it in his heart and will never forget it!"

Cao Cao's face suddenly turned grim, and he solemnly saluted Yang Ling.

Yang Ling hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him,

"Cao Gong is polite! It is also an honor for his subordinates to defect to Cao Gong! ”

"Sir, please rest assured, if I become a big thing in the future, I will definitely not treat Mr. badly."

Yang Ling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He worked so hard for Cao Cao, what was he trying to do?

Isn't it just to live a good life?

With Cao Cao's promise, as long as he doesn't die, the glory and wealth of the rest of his life will basically not be able to run away!

……

Cao Cao, Yang Ling and others did not leave Luoyang in a hurry, but temporarily set up camp.

Within a few days, the messenger sent by Yuan Shao to Chang'an City brought back the official documents of the imperial court.

In order to appease Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo also agreed to their request.

After all, including Dongjun, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places have basically been out of the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Instead of having trouble with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, it is better to be a favor, so as to appease them and prevent them from continuing to attack Chang'an.

Later, Yuan Shao specially held a banquet and invited Liu Dai and Cao Cao to attend.

After Liu Dai learned that Yuan Shao had promoted Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun, his face became ugly at that time!

You must know that he originally planned to let his subordinate general Wang Qiu take the position of Taishou!

But I didn't expect Cao Cao to intervene horizontally!

There is a large piece of territory missing for no reason, how can Liu Dai feel good?

But he knew in his heart that Yuan Shao's banquet today was to warn him not to do anything to Cao Cao!

Liu Dai could only swallow his anger and swallow this breath!

After the banquet, Cao Cao and Yang Ling returned to the camp.

"Judging from Liu Dai's expression, he must have hated us in his heart!"

Cao Cao said slowly, his face a little solemn.

You must know that Liu Dai is the assassin of Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is his jurisdiction.

Now that Cao Cao's subordinates have not yet arrived in Dongjun, they have offended Liu Dai first, which is not a good sign.

"Don't worry, Gong Cao, Liu Dai is just a piece of waste, so why worry about it."

Yang Ling smiled disappreciatively.

If Liu Dai was really capable, he would not have died at the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

After they go to Dongjun, they only need to develop patiently, and wait until the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army enters Yanzhou, which is when they rise!

……

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, early the next morning, Cao Cao took his men and horses to Dongjun.

After several days of marching, the group finally arrived in Dongjun.

Dongjun is located in Yanzhou, although not as rich as Yuzhou, but it is also fertile and has a large population.

However, due to the wars in recent years, most of what Yang Ling saw along the way was deserted land and sparsely populated.

The people I occasionally meet are also yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, with dull eyes.

Seeing such a situation, Yang Ling's heart was slightly sour, and he couldn't help but sigh,

"Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer! ”

"Big brother is so literate!"

Zhao Yun's heart was shocked, and he said sincerely.
