Chapter 229: Yuan Shu Comes
The next day, Chen Yan got up very early, personally prepared breakfast for Cai Yan, and waited for Cai Yan to wash.
How could Cai Yan think that the dignified Yu Lin Zhonglang would actually do the next thing, and he was moved and happy.
Chen Yan stood beside the bed, looking at Cai Yan's bulging lower abdomen, happy in his heart, needless to say, it was just that she was pregnant in October, and now it was just less than three months, and no one could even tell that Cai Yan was pregnant when she put on her clothes.
As the saying goes, good things are grinding, even if Chen Yan is anxious in his heart, he has to wait.
"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl." Chen Yan said in a low voice.
"Does Junlang like boys or girls?" Cai Yan asked with a smile.
Chen Yan pondered for a moment and said, "I prefer my daughter, but my daughter is my father's little lover in my last life!" ”
Cai Yan was surprised for a while, frowned, and said: "What is this statement, I have never heard of ......" It seems that Cai Yan is not satisfied with this statement in his heart.
Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "This is a common saying from people in the place where I live. ”
Cai Yan frowned, his face was suspicious, and said: "The place where Junlang lives seems to have very different customs from ours, I don't know where Junlang grew up?" ”
When Chen Yan heard this, he suddenly realized that he had never told Cai Yan about this, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It's a small border town, and it's not famous, Zhao Ji has never heard of it." ”
When Cai Yan heard this, he was even more interested, and continued to ask: "Then is it in the south or the north?" ”
Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "In the north, far away in the north, ...... far away"
Cai Yan was inevitably surprised, and asked: "Far north, is it in Liaodong?" Or the Huns? Or further north? ”
Chen Yan just smiled at this time and didn't answer, because he knew that if he continued to talk, he would inevitably be exposed.
At this moment, suddenly the old servant outside the door came to him, knocked on the door and said, "My lord, Mr. Jia Xu has something to ask you to come over." ”
Chen Yan secretly exhaled in his heart, and said in his heart: "It's really time for this old servant to come, otherwise Zhao Ji will ask again, and I can only tell her that I have crossed back." Immediately said goodbye to Cai Yan, and went out to follow the old servant.
As soon as he arrived at the door, suddenly a person flashed out, sneaky, it was the sword god Wang Yue, Wang Yue looked at Chen Yan and smiled: "Father, it seems that you are very excited." ”
Chen Yan glanced at Wang Yue and did not answer. This guy is really excessive, after coming to Luoyang, he was assigned to a big mansion, he planted some flowers and plants in the yard all day long, raised some pond fish, and did not recruit many families, and did everything himself, living the life of a rich man.
Chen Yan really couldn't figure out how such a half-aged and ageless guy who had no pursuit, only knew how to cultivate and become a generation of swordsmanship masters by strolling around every day and carrying cages and birds.
Wang Yue looked at Chen Yan and looked at him with disdain, how could he not know that he was despising himself in his heart, but fortunately, Wang Yue did not care, sneered, and followed Chen Yan to the mansion where the matter was located.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that there were many people standing densely in the lobby, and as soon as Chen Yan entered, Jia Xu and Guo Jia greeted them one left and one right.
Guo Jia's face was serious, and he saluted: "My lord." ”
Chen Yan knew that something important was happening, and immediately asked, "What, Fengxiao, what's the trend?" ”
Guo Jia said in a low voice: "Yuan Shu sent a messenger, and he is resting in the guest room at this time. ”
When Chen Yan heard this, his heart moved, and he secretly thought to himself: "This Yuan Shu has always been in the eyes of no one, but I didn't expect to be so active this time, and even sent an envoy over, I'm afraid I have encountered some difficulties." ”
Jia Xu also came over and said: "Lord, Yuan Shu sent an envoy to send a lot of money and food, I am not good at making decisions, I am piling up outside the lobby, and I ask the lord to decide." ”
At this time, Xu Rong paced over and said in a low voice: "Lord, I see that although the messenger is here to show goodwill, he is arrogant in his speech and demeanor, and his attitude is even more aggressive, hum!" I really don't know what confidence he has to do this! ”
Chen Yan was not in a hurry to discuss, took two steps forward, sat down at the top, and asked, "What do you think, why did Yuan Shu send an envoy over?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone began to talk about it, and after a while, Huang Zhong said loudly: "The lord has been peaceful in the west during this time, chasing Lu Bu, destroying the Huns, and Weijia all over the world, I think he is afraid, so he came to show goodwill." ”
Xu Rong shook his head and said: "Otherwise, Yuan Shu is strong in Huainan, Shouchun City is prosperous, plus Yuan Shu has always been an arrogant person, although the lord is wise and martial, Yuan Shu's kind of person who has no one in his eyes may not be able to see this." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Yan saw that Jia Xu was smiling, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Jia Xu, what do you think?" ”
Jia Xu took a step forward and said: "It is said that a few days ago, the Yanzhou Yellow Turban made a comeback, and there was chaos in the state, and even the Yanzhou assassin was murdered, causing Yanzhou to be leaderless for a while. ”
Chen Yan nodded and said, "I have also heard a little about this matter. ”
Jia Xu continued: "At this time, a talented person suddenly appeared, recruited village warriors, quelled the Yanzhou riots, and even conformed to public opinion, becoming a new assassin in Yanzhou. ”
Chen Yan said: "If my knowledge is good, this person is Cao Cao. ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "The lord is really well-informed. This person is indeed Cao Cao. Cao Cao's fierce generals are like clouds, and this person has always been very capable, and he has become a hegemon in Yanzhou in a short period of time. Yuan Shu originally saw that the dragons in Yanzhou were leaderless and wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect to be seized by Cao Cao, an unknown junior. ”
Chen Yan said with a smile: "Although Cao Cao is also an official eunuch family, after all, he is a little worse than the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family. Yuan Shu is the descendant of the Yuan family, and he doesn't even look at his brother Yuan Shao, the son of the concubine, no wonder he was angry like this when he was robbed of territory by Cao Cao. ”
Jia Xu continued: "Therefore, Yuan Shu was furious and sent troops to attack Cao Cao, he thought that Cao Cao was just a moment of luck to capture Yanzhou, but he didn't expect that after the two of them fought each other, Yuan Shu found that Cao Cao was far from being as simple as he thought. ”
Chen Yan heard this, bowed forward, and said, "Oh? How's the battle going? ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Cao Cao's army not only repelled Yuan Shu's attack in Yanzhou, but also pursued and killed Kuangting, chasing and killing more than 700 miles all the way, among which a general under Cao's general Xiahoudun killed more than 5,000 enemy troops, and became famous in a battle!" ”
Chen Yan gasped when he heard this, he didn't expect that there would be such a grudge between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.
Huang Zhong was also enthusiastic when he heard this, and immediately asked, "This colonel is so fierce?" What is your name? ”
Jia Xu paused and said slowly: "It seems to be called Dian Wei." ”
"Dian Wei?!" Chen Yan exclaimed again and almost fell out of his seat.
Seeing that this was wrong, Guo Jia hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What, lord, have you heard of this person?" ”
Chen Yan hurriedly shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of it, I haven't heard of it, it's just a bit unbelievable to hear that this person actually killed five thousand soldiers in one battle."
Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's true, it seems that this Dian Wei really can't be taken lightly......"
