Chapter 49: Cao Cao
"Ziyi has seen his uncle," Wang Gang bowed and saluted.
The young man sitting opposite Wang Yun also looked up at Wang Gang, not knowing how this Wang Yun had a nephew. also called himself Ziyi, it is not Wang Gang, Wang Ziyi, the captain of the left school.
Wang Yun put the chess pieces in his hand on the stone platform and spoke.
"One bad move, old man admits defeat"
"Lord Wang admitted," he said, standing up and saluting.
"Gongda's chess skills are profound, and the old man is convinced," Wang Yun laughed and said.
"Old decay is introduced to you and others, this is the new left captain Wang Gang, Wang Ziyi, and the one next to him is Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe"
"I've seen Captain Wang, Mr. Jia," the young man saluted with his fists.
"This is the squire Xun You," Wang Yunyou said, pointing to the young man next to him.
"You are Xun You, Xun Gongda" Wang Gang stepped forward and grabbed Xun You's arm and asked.
Xun You was startled and looked at Wang Gang with a puzzled expression.
"Ziyi, don't be rude"
Wang Gang smiled awkwardly and spoke.
"Mr.'s name, like thunder under it, today I can see the true face, it is difficult to suppress it for a while, don't blame it, don't blame it" Wang Gang said with his hand arched at Xun You.
"Wang Xiaowei has a good temperament, and the students have already heard of it, but he doesn't know the name, but he can also be known by Wang Xiaowei, and he is ashamed," Xun You said.
This is also called a thin name, I'm afraid that everyone doesn't know who doesn't know, Wang Gang slandered in his heart.
Xun You chatted with a few more people and left, and when he left, he found that Wang Gang's eyes were a little greedy looking at him, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"Ziyi, I'm very interested in Gongda" Wang Yun looked at Wang Gang and showed an intriguing smile.
Wang Gang scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
"Isn't there a lack of a military advisor, my uncle will help Zhang Luo"
"Military advisor, isn't Wen He helping you with advice, besides, Xun You is a waiter of the Yellow Gate, and he has an official position, so he still broke this thought" Wang Yun looked at Wang Gang and said.
"Mr. Jia doesn't know when he will leave me, and besides, one person is short-minded, and two are long-witted" Wang Gang glanced at Jia Xu, Jia Xu smiled slightly, and did not answer.
"You, you are not greedy enough, beware of the bamboo basket to fetch water" Wang Yun finished speaking, beckoning the three of them to sit down.
Wang Gang handed Zhang Qian's letter to Wang Yun, Wang Yun read it, and his face gradually sank.
"Ziyi has seen Your Majesty today," Wang Yun put down the letter and asked.
"I saw it, and without saying a few words, His Majesty let me go," Wang Gang replied truthfully.
"Your Majesty is willing to see you, it is enough," Wang Yun said.
After speaking, he looked at Jia Xu and asked.
"Wen He must have known the situation in Luoyang, and now that the family is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the competition between the Ten Standing Servants and the General's Mansion has become more and more severe," Wang Yun said.
"The family has a good calculation, but I don't know if it will get my wish" Jia Xu snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. He hates these big families the most, all of them only care about the interests of their own families, and some even prey on the common people and bend the law for bribes. Compared with the ten permanent servants, there is a past, and there is no difference.
"This time, the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, three members of the family, three of the ten permanent servants, one person from the General's Mansion, and one is Ziyi. Although the family did not participate, he easily got three captains, and the means were so clever that people had to admire" Wang Yun also sighed, and he didn't have a good impression of these families.
If it weren't for their annexation of land and the misery of the people, I believe there would not have been the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
"Lord Wang, is there a solution?" Jia Xu asked.
"What countermeasures can there be, now I am a fish and a knife, so I can only wait and see what happens" Wang Yun finished speaking, looking at Wang Gang, for this cheap nephew, he still hopes to be able to help some.
"Uncle, why don't we go back to Yanmen, this Luoyang has also been here, and that's it" Wang Gang couldn't think of a good way, so he said.
"Ziyi, don't talk nonsense by temperament, there are many eyes and ears in Luoyang, and you must be cautious in everything you say and do," Wang Yun advised.
"Yes, uncle, Ziyi wrote it down" Wang Gang lowered his head.
"Since Your Majesty asked you to recruit soldiers, you should go to Luoyang City to recruit some homeless people"
Wang Gang nodded and stayed at Wang Yun's house for the time being.
As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Wang Yun took Chu Yu to the east gate of Luoyang.
Here are several small towns connected, all of them are displaced people after the Yellow Turban Rebellion temporarily stayed here, and there are also some disabled soldiers after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, who have not been resettled for the time being, so they live outside Luoyang City.
Wang Gang looked at the groups of skinny people, and felt very uncomfortable, separated by a wall. Singing and dancing in the city are leveling, and there is indeed purgatory in the world outside the city, although it has not yet reached the level of eating for Yi Zi, but seeing them kneeling on both sides of the road, begging the passers-by bitterly, giving some food, in exchange for a burst of punches and kicks.
Seeing Wang Gang and Chu Yu coming over, a group of people rushed over, knelt in front of the two, and kept kowtowing.
"My lord, give me something to eat, I haven't eaten for a long time" An old man lay in front of Wang Gang.
Chu Yu stepped forward, pulled out the short knife in his hand, and stared at everyone. The people were frightened and threw away, and some of the bolder ones stood in the distance, constantly looking this way.
The king took out a few pieces of silver from his bosom and threw them at the people in the distance. As soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, the war horse jumped out, and a tear fell into the flying dirt and disappeared.
Behind him, the people began to rob wildly, and some began to fight, all of which Wang Gang no longer cared about.
Wang Gang took Chu Yu to a farther town, began to recruit soldiers, some people who had no food were willing to join, and recruited hundreds of young men in less than half a day, just as Wang Gang was about to take people to the West Garden to settle down first, he saw a group of people walking towards them from a distance.
There were more than ten soldiers in the lead, and the middle one was seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair, dark skin, riding a maroon war horse with a sword hanging from his waist.
Wang Gang grabbed the war horse, and Chu Yu on the side was also on guard.
The visitor was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Gang, and asked.
"Dare to ask which general is recruiting troops here"
"Captain Zuo Wang Gang, I don't know what Brother Tai is?" Wang Gang replied.
"Cao Cao, the commander of the military academy, I am fortunate to see the golden face of the captain of the school today, it is really better to see it than to hear it, fortunately very lucky" Cao Cao finished speaking, jumped off the horse, laughed and walked towards Wang Gang.
Wang Gang was scorched by thunder, this is Cao Cao, this is the famous Cao Cao, I met it here, this is too dramatic, I don't dare to write it like this.
"The lieutenant is polite. Seeing Brother Cao today is Wang's third life lucky" Wang Gang jumped off the horse and saluted Cao Cao with his fists.
"Captain Wang is serious," Cao Cao said with a salute in return.
"The lieutenant of the military academy also came out to recruit soldiers, these soldiers seem to be ......" Wang Gang finished speaking, and glanced at the hundreds of old and weak behind Cao Cao, a little puzzled.
"Captain Wang doesn't know, these are all fellow villagers who follow the generals, seeing that they are lonely, they can't bear to abandon each other" Cao Cao glanced back and said with a somewhat embarrassed face.
