Chapter Ninety-Seven: I'm Not Sleepy When I Say This!
In the afternoon, it snowed heavily.
The earth seems to be dressed in a thick robe, completely enveloping everything, and it looks very simple.
Xun Xiao got busy.
In winter, only plum blossoms bloom well.
However, the rest of the flower plants, such as camellia and Zhu Jin, need to be well maintained.
The snow was so heavy that many of the small bamboo forests planted behind the mountain were bent over like fishing.
It's not going to go on like this.
If the branches are broken, the nutrients will be used as new branches next spring, what good flowers can bloom?
Therefore, Xun Xiao and others need to clean the snow on the branches and leaves.
Dian Wei and Wang Er both knew that he was lazy, but in fact, he had always done a good job in the things he was interested in.
At this time, Cao Chun rushed in like a porcupine.
"Wen Bo, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much!"
This time, he learned wisely and didn't ask directly.
On the way to Xunfu, he made a profound summary, and he was scolded by the lord before the military council, and he must have forgotten to greet him!
"Zihe is back."
Xun Xiao raised her head and smiled, then lowered her head to sweep the snow again, the small wooden stick gently knocked on the leaves, and after the ice and snow were broken, she swept it off with a homemade feather duster.
Serious and meticulous.
Seeing this, Cao Chun strengthened his thoughts.
Greetings are a waste of time, but they are necessary.
If you look at Wen Bo, he knows this well, and he is not flustered, how can he say it in the Spring and Autumn Period?
No wonder the lord thinks so highly of him!
So, he also stared at Xun Xiao with interest to sweep the snow.
After watching it for a while, I really felt bored, and the doubts in my heart were too scratchy.
"Wen Bo, needless to say, what kind of friendship do we have, you give me the answer, who is the woman entrusted to me to take care of?"
Cao Chun still couldn't hold back and asked softly.
"Who?"
"The woman you entrusted me to take care of in Xu County!"
Cao Chun exclaimed.
Xun Xiao then remembered that her mind had been full of Cao Gong and Wang Er recently, but she had forgotten Diao Chan, something was wrong, so she hurriedly asked, "How are things going?" ”
"Entrusted by Wenbo, naturally do your best!"
Cao Chun patted his chest, very proud.
"Oh!"
Xun Xiao nodded, then walked to the next flower plant and continued to clear the snow.
Huh!
What about my problem?
Cao Chun came to his senses at this time, and was staggered by Xun Xiao, and his question had not been answered.
"Wenbo, you just tell the truth, is that Diao Chan or not?"
"Will you behead the wrong person under the moon?"
"Also, why did everyone say that Diao Chan was dead, and I just mentioned it at the military meeting, and it made the lord unhappy, what is going on?"
Cao Chun couldn't pretend anymore, and asked the questions in his heart.
"I'm going to make some tea!"
Wang Er's eyelids lifted and decided to disappear for a while.
Looking at the back of Wang Er leaving, and then at Cao Chun, the curious baby, Xun Xiao couldn't help but smile.
"I know why the lord is angry with you!"
"Ah, why?"
Cao Chun's brain was even more confused.
"Because you have too many questions!"
Xun Xiao ignored him after speaking.
Cao Chun pondered for a while, unable to understand and impatient.
It's uncomfortable!
And Xun Xiao was thinking about Wang Er.
Lately, he hasn't been scheduled to do anything.
Since you don't know which link went wrong, it's a one-size-fits-all approach.
If Cao Gong really has something for Wang Er to do, then when that matter appears, Wang Er will definitely be in a hurry.
The problem has been found.
However, Wang Er did not.
After a light life with nothing to do, he seems to be happier?
And I don't know if it's to gain my trust, follow me like kraft candy.
If you don't do anything, you just follow.
Xun Xiao slept, and he stood guard outside the door.
Xun Xiao went to the toilet, and he also guarded it.
Fang just left, and he didn't seem to see the problem.
Xun Xiao decided to observe for a while.
"I've taken a serious look, the woman who went to Xu County seems to be Diao Chan......"
"Wen Bo, do you really don't know, or did you let it go on purpose?"
"If you don't kill, why do you want to spread the news? If it's true, why don't you kill it again? ”
Cao Chun waited for a while, and when he saw that Xun Xiao didn't speak, he asked in a low voice.
At this time, Wang Er was serving tea.
People are stupid.
Oh my God, it's not done yet?
What are you so curious about?
At this point, Xun Xiao and Wang Er are consistent: "You know too much!" ”
"To be fair, it's really bad to know too much!"
Wang Er nodded and sighed.
I don't know if he's talking about Cao Chun or something else.
"You've got a piece of!"
Cao Chun glared at Wang Er, took two sips of tea, and exclaimed, "Wenbo, you won't deliberately trick me again, right?" ”
What is it called again.
The big mansion bought in Xu County, Cao Chun still doesn't know what to use, but he was ridiculed by Cao Ren and others because of it.
Then there was the woman, who was scolded by the lord again.
Why does it feel like nothing is going well?
Xun Xiao didn't speak, and Wang Er would pick it up at this time.
Sure enough, Wang Er immediately said: "One thing to say, Mr. is very good to our own people, how can he be a pit and a general?" ”
explained, and showed loyalty without a trace.
High, really high.
Cao Chun thought about it, Bowen is still very similar to himself in this regard, otherwise why would he get along with him?
"In that case, Bowen will tell me, otherwise I will still worry about this matter when I am out on the expedition, and I am afraid that I will lose the battle."
Cao Chun couldn't make a plan, so he pleaded for mercy instead.
Anyway, you have to figure it out to be comfortable.
"Zihe is going to go on an expedition?"
"Yes, we'll leave in three days!"
Xun Xiao was stunned, and then laughed again.
What are you laughing at?
Cao Chun frowned, always feeling that nothing good was good in his heart.
"Do you know why the lord let you go on the expedition?"
"Why?"
Sure enough, Cao Chun is still as easy to be led astray as always.
"Out of sight, out of mind."
Wang Er interjected appropriately.
Suddenly, there was a loud laugh in the courtyard, and only Cao Chun held back a big red face and looked depressed.
"Zihe doesn't need to think about it, although the lord has the intention of punishing, it is also a chance to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions."
"Besides, the tiger and leopard cavalry also needs to be trained, and no matter how elite the cavalry is, if it is not tempered from the battlefield, it cannot be called elite."
"The lord values you very much!"
When Xun Xiao saw him like this, she couldn't bear it, so she persuaded her.
Cao Chun was still very depressed.
However, Xun You's arrival made him feel a lot better.
I'm going to go on a campaign, and you'll be able to get away with it?
Xun You came, so naturally he couldn't continue to ask, and the road to the expedition was long, and there was time.
I don't believe you can hold it all the way!
Cao Chun suddenly became cheerful, saluted Xun You, and left the barracks.
......
"Uncle Wenbo!"
"Gongda is here!"
Unlike Cao Chun, Xun You was welcomed to the pavilion in the courtyard as soon as he came, and Wang Er went to arrange tea and snacks.
Angry, he quickened his pace and walked away.
In fact, Xun Xiao was just a little tired.
"Are you done with the dim sum?"
Xun Xiao said with a smile.
Xun Yu and Xun You, the two uncles and nephews, have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, presumably there must be something important.
Of course, now there are two more reasons, one is to rub dim sum, and the other is to rub grilled fish.
Xun Xiao naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.
Since the last time Xun Yu came, after a deep conversation, the uncle and nephew no longer persuaded Xun Xiao to make meritorious contributions, and he also returned to the days of watering flowers and raising horses.
Today's performance must have made them very satisfied.
However, Xun You looked at this scene, and his face was indescribably bitter.
Xun Yu actually mentioned it to him, and both of them felt that they had dragged Wen Bo down, and they felt guilty.
"The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop."
"The lord has something important to hand over to me?"
"Uncle Wen Bo is really in Taoguang!"
Xun You nodded appreciatively, which explained his intention.
Because Xun Xiao did not participate in the military meeting, the final result was conveyed by Xun Yu on his behalf, and he also brought a military order.
Xun Xiao is going on a campaign.
"Didn't Wen Ruo say that the Xun family can't be military generals, why didn't you persuade them?"
The peaceful days were quickly broken, and Xun Xiao had a headache.
What's even more troublesome is that it's going to be meritorious again!
Xun You said helplessly: "I have persuaded it, but the lord is very persistent." ”
Xun Xiao sighed: "Oh. ”
The atmosphere was a little dreary for a while, and neither of them spoke.
After a while, Xun You really couldn't bear it, and said with relief: "In fact, the lord has the ability to let Wen Bo ...... The uncle is in charge, and it also means trust. ”
Xun Xiao nodded, and could only think so.
It's just that he doesn't understand, since the lord doesn't doubt me, what's the matter with sending Wang Er to stare at me?
If you doubt, you can't give me the horses.
Thinking that Cao Chun also said that he was going to go on the expedition, this campaign must have brought the elite of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
That's even more incomprehensible.
Do you have any thoughts on me?
Xun Xiao had goosebumps all over her body, and she didn't remember that Cao Cao was good at Longyang in history, so she was relieved a lot.
"In short, my uncle puts the overall situation first, and as for this matter, I will discuss this matter with Wen Ruo and then find the lord."
"Gongda's words are serious."
Xun Xiao said solemnly: "The expedition is about tens of millions of people at dawn, how can I harm the people of the world because of me?" No matter what the lord thinks about this expedition, and no matter what criticism it will attract afterwards, he will definitely try his best to win! ”
If you fight, a lot of people will die.
The war is also fought so that there will be no war in the future.
In contrast, whether an individual has made meritorious service or not, whether or not it arouses jealousy, is insignificant.
On the big festival, Xun Xiao still has his own principles.
Xun You was stunned, as if he had just re-acquainted himself with his uncle at this moment, and made a big salute: "Uncle really lives up to the name of a gentleman!" ”
This worship is no longer the same as before, but to the people.
However, Xun Xiao didn't care, waved his hand, turned around and handed over a piece of dim sum.
"Okay!"
Xun You ate with relish.
Fang just patronized and talked about business, but forgot to eat.
Xun Xiao thought about it, and there was really no other way.
Cao Gong named him to go on the expedition, and the military order was below, could he still refuse?
As for meritorious service...... He suddenly had a bold idea.
Regardless of whether you have made meritorious service or not, you will talk about it after you have done it.
When the time comes, I can't do it in Caoying, so let's go to Jizhou to find Tao'er.
Although Yingchuan has no dragon energy, but now he is not a lonely weed, with Dian Wei and Zhao Yun in his hands, plus he is familiar with the future history, it may be difficult to stand on his own, is it difficult to change jobs?
The important thing is that Taoer is in Jizhou!
Whose territory is Jizhou?
Yuan Shao!
Xun Xiao's thoughts quickly diverged, and the current time point should be the winter of 195, and it is estimated that the Son of Heaven will arrive in Luoyang soon.
At that time, I am afraid that there will be a dangerous battle for the Son of Heaven.
What he didn't know was that the Son of Heaven had arrived in Luoyang.
Judging from the results of history, in the end, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but it was dangerous, and I am afraid that only Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven could understand it.
Yuan Shao, it's still very likely.
In terms of territory, Luoyang is also closer to Jizhou, who said that you can't get close to the water and get the moon first?
If this is the case, Yuan Shao's prestige as the Son of Heaven, coupled with the signboard of the Fourth World and the Third Duke, will definitely attract a large number of scholars to join him, and his strength will become even more terrifying.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it's really hard to say who will kill the deer in the end.
Well...... After Tao'er replied, she immediately wrote another letter.
Cao Ying couldn't stay any longer, so he went to Jizhou to find her.
We can see each other soon.
Thinking of Tao'er, Xun Xiao's heart was swept away.
"By the way, who is it this time?"
Xun Xiao suddenly remembered.
Lao Cao won't have a brain pump, let himself fight Yuan Shao, right?
Lu Bu can also fight, but because of Diao Chan's matter, he is somewhat at a loss.
"It's Yuan Shu!"
Xun You said: "The lord must want to recover Yuzhou first, and Yuan Shu has been a little restless recently, taking advantage of the civil strife in Yanzhou, he slowly moved the battle line to the north, and now I don't know to what extent." ”
"Yuan Shu?"
Xun Xiao stood up.
Speaking of fighting Yuanshu, then I'm not sleepy!
It seems that I smoked too lightly last time, and I don't have a long memory!
If you really want to talk about it, Xuzhou didn't see Tao'er and it was all thanks to him.
Otherwise, they are already a good couple of immortals now, so why don't you care about the flood in Cao Ying.
If you are not happy, you will travel in the rivers and lakes!
"Gongda, please rest assured, that small box is Yuan Shu's eternal home, he can't go to Yuzhou, let alone Yanzhou!"
Xun Xiao's sudden arrogance made Xun Yu smack his tongue again and again.
I have long heard that Wen Bo and Yuan Shu have a grudge, but what kind of grudge is this?
Thinking of the last eight-hundred-mile pursuit, he mourned for Yuan Shu.......
......
Two days later, Xun Xiao and Cao Chun ordered more than 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride and prepare to set off.
Cao Chun was originally the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and temporarily received a thief general, and Xun Xiao was the marching Sima as a staff officer in the army.
Of course, no one cares who listens to whom after the expedition.
There are still many important things to deal with in Xuzhou, and Cao Cao's army will not be able to leave for a while.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted Xun Xiao to bring more men and horses, of course it was important to win the battle, but Wen Bo's safety was equally important.
In the end, Xun Xiao refused with a word.
"It takes so many people to do what it takes to fight Yuan Shu, and it is a waste of grain and grass."
He knew that whether it was Yuan Shu or the Yellow Turban Remnant, they were all novice copies, and Lao Cao just wanted to ride with the tiger and leopard to brush up on experience.
Cao Cao was also arrogant all of a sudden, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
Battlefield soldiers.
The soldiers of the tiger and leopard riders have serious faces, and it is written that the living are not allowed to enter.
The neat black armor shines with cold light under the warm winter sun, and the cold wind in winter has a little more solemn atmosphere.
Cao Cao took Xun Yu and others all the way to the door.
"Wenbo, be careful, don't think too much."
At the gate of the city, Cao Cao took Xun Xiao's hand and said.
Xun Xiao nodded yes.
This kind of affection of the lord and the minister is not envied by everyone.
Xi Zhicai pouted with the crowd, with a trace of regret, he knew that he had gone on the expedition with Wen Bo.
But he didn't know that the lord was deliberately elevating Wenbo.
From the beginning of the sable cicada under the moon to the expedition to Yuzhou to defeat Yuan Shu, Xun Xiao made meritorious contributions.
This is the beginning of reuse!
The lord's mind is simply beyond words.
The more Xi Zhicai thought about it, the more sour he became, but fortunately, his relationship with Wenbo was not bad.
Now, it's time to take it a step further.
When he triumphed, he introduced him to the new Oiran as well, and then he would be a fellow believer.
Xi Zhicai pondered in his heart that Wenbo's momentum was incompetitive, and he had to conform to the general trend.
The rest of the civil and military forces naturally understood people, and they didn't understand Cao Cao's thoughts, so they stepped forward one after another to salute, greeted Xun Xiao almost, and said a few words of blessing.
Cao Ren was interesting, and after talking to Xun Xiao, he went to Cao Chun to ask for a few words.
Cao Chun's face suddenly turned red and he blushed.
Big brother, there are so many people, don't I want to lose face?
What Cao Ren confessed was naturally the matter of Diao Chan, so he had to say no more.
The rest of the people held back their laughter and didn't say anything about it.
With the temperament of the son and the general, along the way before the war, Wen Bo is afraid that he has enough headaches.
"Expedition!"
With a loud shout, Cao Chun took the lead and headed west with the army.
I can't stay any longer.
Why are they all praising Wenbo, but they want to make fun of me?
It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!
"Whew!"
Finally sent away.
Looking at Xun Xiao's departing back, Cao Cao trembled and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wenbo has always been by his side, even if he doesn't check anything, it makes me feel like I'm on pins and needles!
Who will make me responsible?
It's better to be busy, and forget about it when you're busy.
Of course, you can't help but boast about yourself.
Wonderful!
Next, there is naturally no need to worry about defeating Yuan Shu, just trust Wen Bo.
But you have to take care of it, and you can't take it lightly!
Anyway, has the reply been written?
