Gaoyi County is located in the central part of Changshan Country.

The distance from Quliang County is as much as 2560 miles, plus there are several cities that need to be detoured along the way for replenishment, and the distance between the two places is lengthened.

It took Cao Ang eight days to cross this long distance.

The main thing is that he is going to Gaoyi County at the moment to join Han Fu, and there is no need to have an emergency military situation, so there is no need to spend the physical strength of the soldiers to carry out a rapid march.

It is enough to travel only 30 to 40 miles a day.

In the early morning of the ninth day.

Cao Ang arrived at Qianqiu Pavilion, which was located south of Gaoyi County, about seven miles away.

After passing here, Cao Ang can reach his destination without needing half a morning.

At this moment, Cao Ang passed through the core area of the Qianqiu Pavilion, riding on the back of a red rabbit horse, stretching his neck to look not far away, those after more than a hundred years, still well-preserved altars and various stone carvings.

The expression was slightly complicated.

Then he suddenly turned his head and asked Xun Yu on the side: "Gongda, this must be the place where Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne, right?" ”

As an encyclopedia of walking.

Xun Youzi nodded without hesitation and explained to Cao Ang.

"The general clearly saw that Emperor Guangwu was the first year of Jianwu and ascended the throne as the emperor here, and at that time Gaoyi County was still known as Yan in ancient times."

Hearing this, Cao Ang bowed slightly.

After thinking for a while, he then instructed to the left and right: "Pass my order, the generals will dismount, and we will walk through this place to show our respect for Emperor Guangwu!" ”

Although the Han Dynasty now exists in name only, even if Cao Ang runs a horse in Qianqiu Pavilion, no one can accuse him of not being a single one.

But as a recognized loyal minister of the Han Dynasty in the world, Cao Ang must always remember to maintain his own personality.

It's just a few steps of effort, which can show his respect for the Han court and the Han family surnamed Liu, which is a matter of benefit and no expense.

……

As we gradually approach the position of the mandala.

The appearance of those stone statues on the altar became clearly visible in Cao Ang's eyes.

Look at these exquisitely placed things.

A thought suddenly popped up in Cao Ang's mind, did he pass through this place today, did he also have a sense of handover with the big man?

The Eastern Han Dynasty was founded by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, and this was the place where he ascended the throne.

And in the future, he will replace the Han Dynasty and establish his own unified dynasty, which is basically a sure thing.

So I pondered.

It seems that Liu Xiu personally handed over the baton of the times to him.

Of course.

If Liu Xiu was standing in front of Cao Ang at this moment, then he would never dare to confide in these thoughts.

After all, no one knows if the son of the plane, the Great Demon Master Xiu'er, will point to the sky and the earth with one finger, and then attract a violent thunder to give him seconds.

As the thoughts in Cao Ang's mind were flying, the large army quickly passed through Wuchengmo, and at this moment, Cao Ang suddenly heard Zhang Liao's voice in his ears.

"General, it seems that Han Fujun has come to greet us in front!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Cao Ang immediately sobered up from his thoughts.

Looking around, sure enough, it was Han Fu who was leading the way, and behind him was a large group of people, most of whom were wearing official uniforms, and it looked like they should be officials affiliated with the state capital.

The format is quite formal and grand.

This situation suddenly made Cao Ang's eyes flash with a strange brilliance, although Cao Ang cared more about the practical benefits than these formal false courtesies.

Looking at the attitude shown by Han Fu's move and the sincerity shown to Cao Ang, he was still very satisfied.

After all, he is the state pastor of Han Fu.

Cao Ang is now just the Taishou of Hakshu County, and the general Cao Ren under his command is nominally subordinate to Han Fu's jurisdiction.

The Hangeun Festival can be done to such an extent, and it can be said that it is quite face-saving for Cao Ang to be received with a high standard of five miles out of the city.

……

"Zixuan, you really let me wait, since you entered Jizhou, I have been thinking about it day and night, and I have been waiting for your arrival."

"Now I can be regarded as looking forward to you!"

"Hahahaha, please get up, please get up quickly, you don't need so much courtesy between your uncle and nephew!"

As soon as the two sides met.

Cao Ang had just made a junior salute to Han Fu, and before his back was bowed a few degrees, he was already supported by Han Fu, who was quick to see him.

And I heard Han Fu's hearty laughter and words full of various intimacy.

Cao Ang couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Uncle is serious, my nephew is just a junior, how can you be so excited, it really makes my nephew honestly afraid!"

Listening to Cao Ang's prevarication and politeness.

Han Fu laughed even louder.

In front of many officials in the county government behind him, he said in a loud and clear voice: "What do you say to work hard to move the people!" ”

"With your current achievements, and led the elite soldiers to come to help, my uncle originally planned to go out of the city twenty miles to greet him, but because of the large number of personnel, it was finally changed to five miles south of the city!"

After some pleasantries.

Han Fu has successfully put Cao Ang in a fairly high position, and he himself has taken the initiative to face it with a low profile.

In fact, the reason why Han Fu behaved like this.

It's not just because you need to rely on Cao Ang's existence to keep the identity of this Jizhou pastor.

There is also a layer of purpose, which is to boost the confidence of the officials of the Jizhou Prefecture by raising Cao Ang's shelf.

Let those state officials who are panicking because of the recent chaos in Jizhou know that we have a strong helper, not a small miscellaneous fish!

This method has proven to be quite effective.

Among the officials who followed behind Han Fu, many of them had excited emotions on their faces.

……

Because there was such a large group of people who came to greet him.

It would be a bit inappropriate to let the big guy walk slowly with the army.

Therefore, Cao Ang ordered Zhang Liao to lead the army behind, and he and Xun You and others followed Han Fu to Gaoyi County.

On the way to the county seat.

Han Fu successively introduced several of his henchmen to Cao Ang, including Changshi Gengwu, Don't Drive Min Chun, Li Li in Zhizhong, and Cao Ang's more concerned about frustration and frustration.

After greeting these people one after another.

Cao Ang paid a little attention to Fu Zhi, wearing a crown and a scribe's robe, and his appearance looked quite dignified.

If you want to say that in the team in Han Fu's hands, Cao Ang wants to dig up the talent the most, this guy is definitely on the list.

In the vast and chaotic era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Fu Zhi belonged to the relatively high-grade Wenchen strategists.

has a vision, a view of the overall situation, and is very good at formulating grand strategies.

……

Of course.

This dude isn't easy to dig right now.

Because frustration also has the attribute of loyalty.

Unless Cao Ang absorbed Han Fu as a whole, it would be difficult to recruit Fu Fu alone, and Yuan Shao did just that.

And after he was defeated in the battle of Guandu and captured by his father Cao Cao, he would rather die than surrender, and before he died, he wanted to sneak back to Yuan Shao's territory.

You can imagine how difficult it is to solicit.

For the arrangement of frustrating this talent.

Cao Ang's plan is to either take the opportunity to deceive Han Fu from him, or to stay in the hands of Han Wenjie for the time being, and absorb Han Fu as a whole in the future.

Anyway, as long as Han Fu is not destroyed, the talents who can't be taken away by themselves can't be abducted by others.

And in addition to frustration with the public.

Han Fu also has two generals, Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran, both of whom have low official positions in the state capital, and are in the first rank of ordinary military horses.

As long as it works properly.

It is not difficult to recruit them, so Cao Ang does have some ideas, but now he and Han Fu have just met and are ready to start in-depth cooperation.

This kind of poaching thing can only be said to be discussed later, and it can't be lost because it's small.

……

I have used the reception banquet.

Many of the officials of the county government dispersed.

Cao Ang was invited by Han Fu to have a secret meeting with him in the study.

After driving all the surrounding subordinates to other courtyards, and letting Dian Wei guard outside, no one was allowed to approach.

The door slammed shut.

As the footsteps outside the door faded away.

The originally calm and indifferent look on Han Fu's face disintegrated in an instant, and was replaced by a grinning and happy look.

After a silent burst of laughter.

Han Fu couldn't wait, and made a gesture of praise to Cao Angbi, and then said with a heartfelt admiration.

"Ziyu, high, really high!"

"A trick to lead the water to the east, not only did Yuan Benchu's so-called fisherman's plan to profit go down the drain in an instant."

"He even successfully rescued the danger in Jizhou, dragged Gongsun Zhan's footsteps, and made both Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao lose their troops because of this."

"It's really a great move!"

These words may have been held back in Han Fu's heart for a long time, so that as soon as Cao Ang came, he couldn't help but pour out all of them.

After all, as an eye of the Jizhou storm, Han Fu can be said to be a very important role on the entire chessboard, but he has hardly played any good cards in many previous events.

It's all about watching Cao Angxiu's operation.

And Cao Ang, as a new chess player who has not long joined the chess game, can manipulate and fool the behemoths of the two sides in the palm of his hand.

How can this not make Han Fu marvel?

Now that we have met, it is natural to praise them well to show their attitude.

……

For the praise in Han Fu's words.

Cao Ang accepted it calmly without scruples.

After taking a sip of the tea soup that Han Fu had filled for him, he asked with a light smile.

"My nephew has been busy on the road for half a month, and it is inconvenient to collect intelligence, I don't know if my uncle is here, but there is the latest movement of the Gongsun and Yuan families?"

Han Fu nodded again and again.

Then he rummaged through the table for a while, and soon spread out a bamboo slip in front of Cao Ang.

"Virtuous nephew, please see, this is the front-line military information that was just delivered yesterday, Gongsun Jun and Yuan Jun have both headed for Nangong County at this moment, and it stands to reason that they will arrive in Zuojin a few days earlier than us."

"It's just that according to what is written in the intelligence, these two families are worried that the other party will take the opportunity to attack, so they have chosen to take a long detour, so if we leave tomorrow, we should arrive in Nangong County with them."

Hearing this, Cao Ang bowed slightly.

Then he waved his hand indifferently and said: "Even if it is a few days later, it is not a big deal, as my uncle said, these two families are afraid of each other." ”

"Whether it is Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zhan, they will not allow the other party to leave a secret hand around Nangong County."

Han Fu also nodded.

He naturally understands this truth, but it can be a few days earlier or a few days earlier, of course, in this case, there is no need to say it now.

……

And when turning over the intelligence.

Han Fu suddenly remembered something, and then hurriedly took out another bamboo slip, then pointed to the words on it, and said to Cao Ang with some regret.

"This is the casualties of the two armies detected on the front line, Yuan Shaojun's total casualties are thousands, counting the wounded and returning to the team, I am afraid the loss is just over half of it."

"And the Gongsun army is even worse, losing less than 2,000 troops."

"The two sides can only say that they have suffered a small injury, but they have not hurt their muscles and bones, which is really a pity!"

In Han Fu's opinion.

If he took advantage of such a God-given opportunity, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao could break the bloodstream, and both sides would lose thousands or even tens of thousands of people because of this, that would be a beautiful thing that would make him wake up with a smile in his dreams.

After all, once the casualties reach this point, the morale of both sides will drop sharply, and he and Cao Ang are still intact divisions.

I'm afraid that the momentum of Jizhou will change shape in attack and defense!

It's a pity that now these can only be thought about, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are still two strong dragons on the land of Jizhou, and they can flatten the ground snake with a casual roll.

Listening to Han Fu's words of regret.

Cao Ang shook his head with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "Uncle, be content and happy!" ”

"To put it bluntly, these two families are a conflict of interests, although Gongsun Chan killed a younger brother, but this alone is not enough for him to suppress all the people."

"It is already very satisfying to be able to fight like this, let them be jealous of each other, and drag each other to seize Jizhou!"

"Besides, I set up this plan, the main purpose is to let them contain each other, so as to maintain the existing situation in Jizhou, and beyond that, more is to earn!"

Cao Ang's popular and straightforward language.

Han Fu couldn't help but laugh.

Then they nodded yes one after another.

……

The two sat at the table for a while.

After discussing some details about the negotiations in Nangong County, the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

I sensed that the time was almost up.

Cao Ang immediately patted the table with one hand.

interrupted Han Fu's slightly excited imagination of the future, and then changed the gentle smile that he had always maintained.

It turned into a solemn and solemn look.

Then he was serious and said to Han Fu without a smile: "Since my uncle plans to set off tomorrow, there are two things, my nephew must talk to you first, so as not to ruin the plan because of these things after arriving in Nangong County!" ”

Seeing Cao Ang acting so seriously.

Han Fu didn't dare to slack off.

Hurriedly sat upright, staring at Cao Ang, as if he had pricked up his ears to listen.

"Virtuous nephew, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
