What a good woman, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Looking at Zhang Mei's pale face, Cao Cao nodded vigorously, a thousand words, not knowing what to say.

It can be seen that she is very weak, but she still cares about herself so much, Cao Cao was greatly moved, but she couldn't say a word!

The people present were also moved and full of emotion.

Everything was ready, and Cao Cao, Guan Yu and Xiahoudun set off. As soon as he walked out of the door, Cao Cao, who had been enduring it, burst into tears, he half-squatted on the ground, and big tears rolled down the stone floor.

Who said that men don't flick when they have tears? It's just that they haven't reached the sad place.

Out of Handan City, along the northeast direction of the official road gallop horses, at noon, to Julu County. This place was already full of the territory of the Yellow Turban Army, so the three of them were extra careful, no longer taking the official road, but should take the path, and the weapons were also wrapped in wide cloth.

Entering Julu City, Cao Cao found that the city was bustling and busy, and it was also a prosperous scene. I thought that this was the area controlled by the Yellow Turban anti-thieves, and it should be tired of the war, and the name was boring, but I didn't want to be the opposite, although the small city was smaller than Handan City, but I didn't see a trace of war, the people in the city bought and sold, you came and went, endlessly, shops, vendors, and even more lined up.

This is strange, could it be that there are also high-ranking people in the Yellow Turban camp who have helped to govern the rebel-occupied area so well?

didn't have time to think about it, and went straight to the inn where Liu Bei stayed. The strange thing is that there is no one to be seen, and even Kebineng and others are missing.

When I asked the guy, I knew that Liu Bei and the others immediately went to the inn two days ago, and then asked for details, the guy didn't know anything, originally Cao Cao didn't eat, and the guy didn't live in the store, so the guy was reluctant, and he asked the east and west, and he was already impatient.

Knowing that it was useless to ask, the three of them withdrew. Even if something urgent happens, Liu Bei should leave a message so that he can teach Guan Yu to find it, how could he leave suddenly?

Could it be that something has already happened? Since he is in the base camp of other people, Zhang Jiao has a chance to get off the phone.

Guan Yu was very anxious, Cao Cao hurriedly persuaded on the side, in fact, no matter whether Zhang Jiao or Ke Bineng was good, his intention should be in the Five Elements Sword, even if he wanted to do it, he had to wait until the 'Double-strand Sword' appeared! Guan Yu hadn't come back yet, and it stands to reason that there would not have been a conflict.

What Cao Cao said also made sense, but it still couldn't reduce Guan Yu's anxiety. Since it's noon, it's better to fill your stomach first and then make plans.

was about to look for it, but a young man dressed as a servant came to him, and while respectfully handing over a big red invitation, he bowed and said, "This is the uncle, but the surname is Guan, and the second master of my family has an invitation." ”

Guan Yu saw that the invitation card had the words 'Weeping Willow Fang' written on it, and asked rhetorically: "Who is your second master? Guan Mou has never been alive, I don't know what to do?"

"This villain doesn't know, the 'Weeping Willow Fang' is not far ahead, and Guan Ye will know it as soon as he goes. As he spoke, he made an inviting gesture and turned around to lead the way.

Whether it was a blessing or a curse, he had to break through, so he followed the young man. Twists and turns, along the southeast direction, actually slowly out of the city, in front of a big river appeared impressively, the river is a hundred zhang wide, the water flow is turbulent, very majestic.

Along the shore, a straight and smooth path was built, and the weeping willows with thick bowls grew neatly on both sides, which was quiet and stable, and there were birdsong from time to time, which was refreshing.

Cao Cao and the three of them were suspicious, they didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the second master, in order to find out, they followed the young man to the south, and before they went far, they saw a stone tablet more than one zhang high standing on the bank, with the words 'Lao Zhanghe' written on it.

Soon, through the weeping willow to see a two-story small building in front of the shadow, presumably it is the 'weeping willow fang', came to the front of the building, found that there were already two rows of men dressed in a queue to greet him, so he walked into the small building.

It is called 'Weeping Willow Fang', in fact, there is only this small building within a radius of several miles, standing alone in the weeping willow bushes, it looks like a restaurant, but it is deserted inside, and there is no guest, which makes people wonder.

An old man who looked like a shopkeeper, with a smile on his face, personally greeted the three of them to the second floor, and said with a smile: "The three heroes will wait, and the second master will arrive later." "A guy has already poured tea.

This is a single room, the space is larger, look at the layout of the room is quite exquisite, in addition to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there is a cabinet of books against the wall, which is even more strange, neither like a restaurant, nor like an inn, but some of the feeling of a study.

There are two windows, one south and one north, and the breeze blows, carrying the humidity of the river.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a high-pitched laugh, followed by a man who was shorter and dressed in luxurious clothes, and a group of people followed him, and the stars surrounded the man like the moon.

The man's round face was full of smug smiles, and his hands were clenched into fists: "The three heroes are here, and the 'Weeping Willow Fang' is full of brilliance." ”

Cao Cao saw the truth, he was holding a bright iron pipe in his hand, and suddenly remembered the masked man in Qingfeng Village, the man saw Cao Cao recognize himself, so he nodded, approached the window, and blew with his mouth, and saw a fireball, like a fire dragon roaring and falling to the weeping willow tree under the window, the original green leaves, were immediately surrounded by fire, and were scorched in an instant.

Cao Cao praised: "The powerful 'Fire Dragon Dance' turned out to be Second Master Zhang. ”

This person is none other than the second leader of the Yellow Turban Army, the deputy sect of the Taiping God Sect.

This time it's troublesome, I actually walked into someone's nest, and it was considered to be a 'tiger's den', and after thinking about it, this is common sense, originally this Julu County was the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, but I didn't expect to meet Zhang Bao here.

Of course, it was not a coincidence, it was obvious that people had been prepared, maybe Guan Yu and the others were targeted by Zhang Bao's people as soon as they entered the inn where Liu Bei and others lived, and they were brought here.

With Zhang Bao's power, it was easy to take Guan Yu and the three of them in the city, so why bother to lead the three of them to the 'Weeping Willow Fang'? Since they were friends and foes, why were they so polite?

Zhang Bao looked Cao Cao up and down and said, "Sure enough, he is a talent, and Mei'er's vision is good." The eldest brother already knows about you and Mei'er, and he also appreciates Shaoxia, and I, the second uncle, am also very satisfied with it. ”

Cao Cao said: "Don't dare, the younger generation is good friends with Mei'er, and they don't know her life experience at all." She has a deep affection for her juniors, and I will not fail her. But my Cao clan is all Hanchen, even if the younger generation becomes a relative to Mei'er in the future, it will not have anything to do with the Yellow Turban Thief Army. ”

Zhang Bao was a little displeased: "What is Shaoxia, what are you talking about, you are about to become a family, why do you have to say two words." It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it doesn't take any effort to get it, the original intention is to get the 'double-strand sword' today, but I don't want to even the 'Qinghong Sword' and the 'Overlord Sword' come together, it's a big surprise, it seems that God bless my eldest brother. ”

Sure enough, people had already done a good job, just waiting for Guan Yu to come back with the 'double-strand sword', but what I didn't expect was that Cao Cao and Xiahoudun also came with him, so Zhang Bao was very excited, and without much effort, he had to have three five-element swords, which was really pie in the sky.

Cao Cao said: "For their own selfish interests, they rebelled against the army and harmed the people of the world. ”

Zhang Bao disagreed: "What is selfish gain? What is it called rebellion? What is the scourge of the people of the world? You see this Julu County, which originally belonged to the Zhao State, and later the Qin State fought, and only in the Battle of Changping, it killed 400,000 people of the Zhao State, is this considered a scourge to the people of the world? The Qin State unified the six countries, and everyone became the people of the Qin State, but they encountered Xiang Yu and Liu Bang competing for power, and for several years before and after, the people were ten rooms and nine empty, and the dead and wounded were all over the field, is this considered a scourge to the people of the world? Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang was originally an ordinary person, is it considered a rebellion when he led troops against Qin? Is it for his own selfish interests?"

The more Zhang Bao spoke, the more excited he became, and instead asked Cao Cao: "Since Shaoxia has come all the way to the north, and has also witnessed the barren farmland and the people fleeing all the way, then may I ask Shaoxia: Since you stepped into my Julu County, have you ever seen a piece of barren land? Have you ever seen a common man fleeing? If you don't believe it, you can ask the people casually, they are now living and working in peace and contentment, and they have no worries about food and clothing, which is a hundred times better than the rule of the Han Dynasty in your mouth?"

These words, but did make Cao Cao speechless for a while, there is a word that touched Cao Cao a lot, that is, 'the people', over the years, Cao Cao has often talked with some people about how the Han Dynasty got into such a situation, where did the 'rule of Wenjing' and the 'Guangwu Zhongxing' of the year go?

In private discussions, some people think that the emperor is mediocre, especially since the two emperors Huan and Ling, it is said that they have all started to sell their official beards, and they still have the intention to govern the government; some people think that the eunuchs have misled the country, and the most powerful evidence is the 'Rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants', they colluded with each other, deceived the emperor, bullied the ministers, and made a mess of the court; and some people think that it was the ministers who took power, such as Dong Zhuo in front of him, what happened to the Han Empire?

However, why didn't they consider it from the perspective of the common people? The Yellow Turban Army was certainly rebellious, but what Zhang Bao said was also true, the life of the people of Julu County was really good, and if the people were well fed and warmly dressed, would they still rise up to rebel?

Xiahoudun sneered: "In Handan City, I saw Murong Guang assassinate Divine Doctor Zhang with my own eyes, this matter was always instructed by Zhang Jiao, right? Divine Doctor Zhang is such a good living Bodhisattva, and he is also the elder of your clan, how can he do it? Such a vicious heart, he can't tolerate his own people, what can he talk about the people of the world!"

Zhang Bao looked at the 'Overlord Sword' in his hand, "Since Shaoxia is a descendant of Xiahou, he must know your ancestor Xiahou Ying." When Emperor Gaozu fled, in order to run faster, he personally pushed his two sons and daughters, Prince Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan, off the carriage to reduce weight. At that time, it was Xiahou Ying who was driving, and in order to achieve great things, what was the small sacrifice? Don't talk about a cousin, doesn't Liu Bang even want his own biological children?

"In this way, you are admitting Murong Guang's matter, but don't forget a sentence, it is called the sky has eyes, good and evil are rewarded, Murong Guang reined in the precipice, committed suicide and apologized, and your treacherous plan did not succeed. ”

"Hmph, I said a long time ago, Kebineng's gang is useless, but the eldest brother just doesn't listen, Saiwai Diyi, what is the value of cooperation with them!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu was even more concerned about the safety of his eldest brother, and asked eagerly: "What happened to my eldest brother, where is he now?"

Zhang Bao said: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die." The eldest brother is sincere to you, hoping to do great things together, and then you will be the founding heroes, and you can be crowned kings and marquises, and glorify your ancestors. If you don't know how to lift, the eldest brother also said, you can neither use it for me, nor can it be used by others. ”

"My eldest brother is an upright man, and he is a descendant of the Han royal family, how can he be in the same league with you thieves? Saying that, Guan Yu picked up the Qinglong knife and slashed towards Zhang Bao.
