Chapter 395 You are unpredictable
Liu Xie immediately asked Shi A to take Cao Ang and others to test riding and martial arts.

Recognizing Shi A's Henan accent, Cao Ang took the initiative to make friends.Knowing that Shi A was from Henan and a disciple of the great swordsman Huben Wang Yue, Cao Ang was very excited and felt a sense of intimacy.

Back then in Luoyang, Cao Cao was a knight-errant and had some contacts with Wang Yue. Cao Ang had a chance to meet Wang Yue.

After hearing this, Shi A changed his mind and took Cao Ang and others to see Wang Yue.

Seeing the son of the old man, Wang Yue was also very happy, and personally tested Cao Ang's martial arts.

After trying a few tricks, Wang Yue laughed. "Your father taught you this swordsmanship?"

"Yes, the boy is dull and has not grasped the essence." Cao Ang was a little embarrassed.

Wang Yue shook his head. "Your father and son have different temperaments, and you can't learn his swordsmanship. Since you have entered the court, you can learn swords from me in the future."

Before Cao Ang had time to speak, Shi A said, "Then the emperor will practice swords from now on, and there will be one more partner."

Cao Ang was overjoyed and quickly bowed to thank him.

Xia Houchong and Xia Houheng are still young, and their saddle horses are tired, and they can't hold their swords steadily.Wang Yue didn't try their hands with them either. After seeing them demonstrate two moves, he asked Shi A to take them to Zhao Yun.

After testing his riding and martial arts, Cao Ang was worshiped as the servant of Sanqi, and Xia Houchong and Xia Houheng were ordinary doctors.

After fulfilling the entry procedures and arranging tents for accommodation, Xia Houchong and Xia Houheng were too tired to move, and both fell on the newly made beds, lamenting.

Thinking about spending the next few years in such an environment, they felt that life would be worse than death.

Cao Ang was very energetic, and he pulled Xia Houchong and Xia Houheng to get up, and went to see Xun You, his servant.

Xun You's tent is also near the imperial tent, but the status is different, the tent is bigger, and he lives alone.When Cao Ang came, he was playing chess with Jia Xu and talking gossip.Hearing that Cao Ang came to see him, he was somewhat surprised and got up quickly.

"Who?" Jia Xu was surprised.

Even when Chen Gong came to Meiji, he had never seen Xun You so active.

"Yanzhou Shepherd Cao Mengde's son." Xun You smiled and said, "Because of He Boqiu, Meng De and I have some relationship. Although this son is a commoner, he is deeply loved by Cao Mengde's wife, Ding, as if he was his own."

Jia Xu understood a little bit, and waved his hand to signal Xun You to take it easy.

Cao Cao's official wife, Mrs. Ding, is of the same family as Ding Chong.Ding Chong was an important minister arranged by the emperor in Jingzhou, and his influence was greater than that of Hussar General Zhang Ji.With these two layers of relationship in it, it is understandable for Xun You to pay more attention to it.

It's just that the Kanto people came to vote one after another, and they became more and more popular in the court, so they had to be taken seriously.

Xun You is so enthusiastic, it may be that the Kanto people have the idea of ​​supporting each other.

Perhaps the emperor insisted on going to Liangzhou for a walk, and there was also a sense of balance in it?If this is the case, the Son of Heaven's heart towards Liangzhou can be described as sincere, and it is by no means superficial in words.

How should Liangzhou people seize this opportunity?
Jia Xu was in a trance for a while, and she twitched her beard and said nothing.

When Xun You got out of the tent, he saw Cao Ang and the three standing in the distance, so he signaled the Lang Guan on duty to let them come.As the emperor's most trusted confidant, the doctor is responsible for the safety of both he and Jia Xu, and the idlers are not allowed to get close.

Cao Ang rushed in small steps, rushed to Xun You, and bowed to the end. "Young son Peiguo Cao Ang, styled Zixiu, met Xun Shizhong."

Xia Houchong and Xia Houheng also saluted.

Xun You sized up Xia Houchong and Xia Houheng, especially Xia Houheng. "Your mother is also from the Ding Youyang clan?"

Xia Houheng said: "What the servant said is true."

Xun You led the three of Cao Ang to his tent, and asked them what they had seen and heard along the way, and their arrangements after meeting the emperor.Cao Ang answered them one by one, especially mentioning how he met Xun Yu when he was in Hedong.

After talking for a while, Xun You sent Cao Ang and the three of them out of the tent.

Seeing this scene, the doctor on duty did not dare to be negligent, and his attitude towards Cao Ang and the others was much more polite.Seeing this, Xia Houchong couldn't help snorting to show his disdain.

Cao Ang stopped quickly. "Zipei, don't be rude. People respect Xun Shizhong, not you and me."

Xia Houchong said: "Not necessarily. You and Bo Quan still have face, but I don't invite people to see you."

Cao Ang looked back at Xia Houchong, hesitant to speak.

The fact that Xun You was so polite to them had something to do with Ding Chong.He knew that Ding Chong was valued by the emperor now, but before meeting Xun You, they did not expect that Ding Chong's influence would be so great.

Back in the tent, Cao Ang sat for a while, and said to Xia Houchong who was still aggrieved, "Zipei, what do you think of Ding Youyang?"

"I'm not familiar with it." Xia Houchong shook his head, and after a while, he said again: "Except for his surname Ding, I haven't seen anything special about him before."

"He just had no reputation in the past, and it's not that he was outstanding. No matter how he was appointed by the emperor, he stood out as a great official." Cao Ang said, "There are also Zhong Yuanchang, and even Xun Shizhong is no exception."

"So what?" Xia Houchong was at a loss.

"Zipei, the emperor employs people not for fame, but for talent." Cao Ang patted Xia Houchong on the shoulder. "If you want to be respected, now is your chance. As long as you can study hard and make achievements, you may be more powerful than Ding Youyang and Zhong Yuanchang in the future, and you don't need to rely on their reputation at all."

Xia Houchong looked at Cao Ang blankly, not understanding why Cao Ang was so excited.But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

-

Xun You returned to Jia Xu's tent, took his seat again, picked up a chess piece, and dropped it lightly.

Jia Xu responded, and said unhurriedly: "Cao Yanzhou sent three protons at once, it seems that he has made up his mind."

Xun You stared at the chessboard and hummed. "The Kwantung War is imminent. Chen Liu and Yingchuan will be under the greatest pressure. Even the whole of Henan will be within Yuan Shao's vanguard. It is reasonable for him to be a little nervous."

"As a stay-at-home prisoner, what plan do you have?"

Xun You smiled wryly. "I was ordered to supervise the three counties, all of which are in the frontier fortress, but Henan is in the Central Plains. I'm afraid I can't reach it." He picked up the chess piece, rubbed it between his fingers for a moment, and suddenly thought. "There are so many people who can support Cao Mengde, but no one is in the middle to dispatch it. It seems inappropriate."

Jia Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought for a moment. "Perhaps the Son of Heaven already has a candidate in mind, but the time has not come and he cannot announce it."

"Who?"

Jia Xu smiled. "Gongda, the king's heart is unpredictable. And the emperor is smart, even if he doesn't realize it for a while, he can correct it in time. Why do you worry about it?"

"A wise man has a lot of worries, but he also has a mistake. In case the emperor..."

"Even if Henan is lost, so what?" Jia Xu interrupted Xun You, pointing to the chessboard. "You should pay attention to what is in front of you first, you are going to lose again."

Xun You glanced at the chessboard, laughed dumbly, and threw the pieces in his hand on the board.

"Sir, you are brilliant, you feel ashamed."

Jia Xu also put down the chess piece in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "I am only a few years older than you, which is nothing to praise. When I was your age, I thought I was not as good as you. I have experienced many things now. , Knowing that some things cannot be done by human beings, it is considered to be a little light."

Xun You said with a smile, "Looking at Mr.'s intentions, do you seem to have regrets?"

Jia Xu raised her eyelids, pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly. "If life has no regrets, isn't it extremely boring?"
