Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 245 I'm from Zhending County, and I'm so handsome, buddy, who are you? 【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

See Han Fu straighten his back.

Concentrate on listening to the movements on your side with all your attention.

After Cao Ang nodded unobtrusively, he immediately raised a finger.

Then he said earnestly to Han Fu: "The most important thing is the agreement between you and me. Uncle must not disclose it to others."

"Especially after arriving in Nangong County, when facing Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, please keep your words secret and don't let them know that our two families have reached an alliance."

"Even after arriving at the destination, you still need to distance yourself from your nephew a little bit. It's best to create an illusion that you want to win me over, but I haven't agreed yet, that is, a gesture of indifference."

Following Cao Ang's explanation.

Han Fu nodded clearly at first, but later on he couldn't understand.

"Nephew, how can you fake this kind of thing? After all, your general has been appointed as the prefect of Wei County, and you are also personally leading the army to the north."

"Yuan Benchu ​​and Gongsun Bogui, as long as they are not stupid to the end, they must be able to tell. I will use this as a price tag in exchange for you to come to the north to help, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Ang immediately shook his head.

"Whether it's just to save your life and your position as Jizhou Mu, or to say that the two of us are completely united, there is a big difference."

"The former will attract the attention of the two families, while the latter will cause Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to fear."

"Once they are worried about the great increase in the strength of our two alliances, they will definitely let go of their prejudices and hatred. They will kick us out of the game table first, and then we will have a showdown."

Speaking of it.

Cao Ang tapped lightly on the table with his fingers.

Then he said emphatically.

"So what we have to do is to declare to the outside world that you exchanged one county of Wei County for my help, but I may return to Dong County at any time."

"Either we don't say anything, and let Yuan Benchu ​​and Gongsun Bogui guess!"

This is the end.

Han Fu has completely understood.

He immediately nodded heavily in yes.

"As Zixiu said, if the two of you know that you and I have formed an alliance, we must get rid of us first and then quickly. All the efforts we have made before may be ruined in one fell swoop."

"I already know this matter, I will keep my mouth shut, and I will never reveal even a little bit!"

……

On the first thing a consensus was reached.

It can also be regarded as building a good foundation for the next thing.

"Zixiu, I've kept this matter in mind, isn't that what the other matter refers to?"

Facing Han Fu's inquiry.

Cao Ang did not answer immediately.

Instead, he waited quietly for several seconds, and then looked at Han Fu with deep eyes.

Then he said meaningfully: "The other thing is the ugly words that were said earlier, if uncle thinks that my nephew is being rude and offensive, then I can only apologize to you first. "

After saying this, Han Fu couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

The words have come to this point, and it is clear that they are not nice words, but even so, Han Fu must choose to listen quietly.

"Zixiu, please speak up!"

Cao Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, and then Han Fu's calm tone drifted into Han Fu's ears, which could be described as loud.

"The current situation in Jizhou can be said to be in a stalemate. Whether it is Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan, whoever wants to monopolize Jizhou will be besieged by the other parties."

"So under such circumstances, it may be an effective way to win over you, Jizhou Mu."

"After all, you have the status of Jizhou Mu, and you have more than [-] troops on hand. If you can fight against one family, there will be great things to do."

Just said such a prelude.

Han Fu's pupils shrank involuntarily.

A heart in the chest was even more uncontrollable, beating violently.

He had vaguely guessed what Cao Ang meant.

……

But here Cao Ang's voice has not yet fallen.

He continued on his own.

"Some words are not pleasant, but they must be said first. After arriving in Nangong County, if Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan express their intention to win you over, I hope you can understand your current position."

"Who is on your side, who really wants to save your life and status."

"Who just wants to use you for a while, and kick you away after the incident is over. In this matter, uncle must have the ability to distinguish right from wrong!"

That's all.

Cao Ang will not repeat it.

Instead, he picked up the tea bowl, and while blowing the hot air, slowly savored it.

It seems to be waiting for Han Fu to make a statement.

And seeing so.

Han Fu's mind also began to run rapidly, and he had to give an answer in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, once the delay is too long and he shows hesitation, Cao Ang will think that he is unreliable and lose trust in him.

This will have disastrous consequences.

……

It was silent for five or six seconds.

Han Fu finally made a decision.

He is Jizhou Mu, who possesses the fame and righteousness that everyone dreams of, so he can't stay out of the matter, and he can't jump out and place a bet.

But he is the weakest among the several forces, either alliance or attachment, otherwise he has no right to speak.

And under such a premise.

Should we choose to unite the weak and the weak, or rely on the strong?
Needless to say.

The former can keep everything he owns now, but the latter will make him lose his status as Jizhou shepherd, and even be treated like a dog in the future.

How to choose, does this need to be taught?

Think about it here.

Han Fu didn't hesitate anymore, and without saying a word, he made a promise to Cao Ang.

"Zixiu, don't worry, I understand some things clearly, and I will never be confused!"

"The so-called wooing is all fake. Both of them have plots against me. If I listen to their lies, I'm afraid the result will be a dead end. There is absolutely no reason."

"Besides, Yuan Benchu ​​and Gongsun Bogui will only treat me as a human being if we rely on your strength and join hands with you to deal with the other two parties."

"On the contrary, in their eyes, I am just an autumn insect that can be crushed to death. How can I not know how to choose?"

……

Cao Ang was satisfied with Han Fu's promise.

In fact, this kind of verbal promise is useless and does not have any binding force. Words alone are not as good as farting.

The reason why Cao Ang wants to emphasize it.

The purpose is to let Han Fu, taking advantage of the present time, calmly think clearly.

In order not to go to Nangong County, encounter several other forces, be fooled by others, and become confused, and then do things that should not be done.

He was asking Han Fu to weigh the pros and cons, not just such a promise.

Only this old boy figured it out.

Cao Ang's own interests will not suffer losses.

Otherwise, once all parties negotiate, Han Fu will turn his back temporarily and be bribed.

Then let any one of them complete the fact of swallowing Jizhou, then Cao Ang would really be a joke.

So he must take precautions!

"Uncle's opinion is really wise. As long as our uncle and nephew can work together, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan will not be afraid no matter how many soldiers they have!"

With Han Fu giving the exact answer.

Cao Ang finally showed a smile on his face.

The originally tense and stagnant atmosphere in the study slowly returned to its original state.

Then the two came up with a basic charter for some details, and the secret discussion in the study room was completely over.

…………

Because Han Fu decided to leave the army the next day.

Therefore, Cao Ang needs to rest for one night in Gaoyi County, and the residence arranged by Han Fu for him is in the guest room of the state capital.

It's just that Cao Ang arrived early, so even though the luncheon was over and the secret conversation in the study was over, it was still very early before going to bed at night.

And this time he came out in a hurry.

Cao Ang didn't bring any books to relieve boredom, so he could only get bored in the guest room.

After sitting idle for a quarter of an hour.

Cao Ang couldn't sit still anymore, he simply pushed the door out and said to Dian Wei who had been guarding him.

"A Dian, let's go, accompany me around the city!"

After the two left the state capital.

So they wandered along the main road of the county town, but after a short walk, Cao Ang and Dian Wei couldn't help but frowned.

As Gein deviated from the bustling streets where the state capital was located, and approached the civilian area at the other end of the city, the scene he saw gradually became a little unbearable.

Dirty water flows and insects and flies fly around.

How is it a messy word?
If it's just about sanitation, it's not that serious after all.

The key is that on both sides of the road, you can often see people in scanty clothes, with yellow and emaciated faces.

It is not clear whether it is the permanent residents of the city or the refugees who fled here.

They dragged their families around, their eyes were numb, and many people just let go and lay on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

And here is just the other half of the city that has just stepped through, and has not gone deep into the slums.

It can be expected that as the footsteps go deeper, this bad scene will become more serious and obvious.

……

"General, you said that Gaoyi County is the capital of the state, and it is also the most benevolent place under the rule of Lord Han. How can this city be so unbearable?"

Even Dian Wei, who seldom expressed his opinions on these things, couldn't help but whispered to Cao Ang's ear.

Everyone has seen the refugees.

It is not uncommon to see people with yellow and emaciated faces, and even corpses starved to death on the street.

After all, in a world of strife and chaos like now, it is a very common phenomenon for people to be displaced and not have enough food or clothing to keep warm.

But the problem here is the state capital of Jizhou.

It is also the base camp of Han Fu's forces.

Even here, there are nearly half of the city, which are people living in miserable conditions. If it were other small and medium-sized towns, the situation would be even worse.

Dian Wei's muttering was heard in his ears.

Cao Ang couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

He didn't expect that the territory under Han Fu's forces had rotted so far that even the prestige project of the state capital could not be maintained. Is there really such a shortage of food?

Or rather.

Food is available, but they are unwilling to take it out.

I don't bother to maintain such a superficial peace. No matter how many people starve to death, as long as the army is not shaken and there are no civil uprisings, it doesn't matter.

Cao Ang felt that the latter was more likely.

After all, when Han Fu was attacking Dong Zhuo before, Han Fu was able to supply the food and grass expenses of the entire northern coalition army by himself. Wouldn't it be a nonsense to say that he ran out of food?
……

"I think it's mostly a matter of acting from top to bottom. Han Wenjie is all focused on Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and has no intention of governing the city."

"The people above don't care, and the people below will naturally choose to fool. If things go on like this, it will naturally evolve to this point."

while talking.

Cao Ang couldn't help thinking about it.

For Han Fu's state, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Hi, it's naturally because the more lazy Han Fu is, the less he can manage his territory well. It will be easier for him to get Jizhou in the future.

Worrying is not for Han Fu, but for the common people. With a leader like Han Fu on top, it is really bad luck.

And the master of power in the world is like Han Fu, I'm afraid I can't count it with two hands.

Ugh!
Cao Ang secretly sighed in his heart.

He has no good solution now, the only thing he can do is to bring peace to the world as soon as possible and end this chaotic world that would have lasted for nearly 100 years.

In the place where his flag is planted everywhere, the people should live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful!
……

"Let's go, it's useless to stay any longer. How many people are there in the world who love and rule the people like your general and ensure that everyone has food?"

After greeting Dian Wei.

The two immediately turned back and found a wine shop. After ordering a few small dishes, they sipped the emerald green wine.

It is far from enough to say how good the wine and dishes taste.

It's just used to pass the leisure and boring time, and it's no big deal to taste it once in a while.

Speaking of it, this wine house can provide a lot of wine, which just proves that Gaoyi County is not short of food, and it is only the poor people who are short of food.

It would be unreliable to ask Han Fu to distribute food to everyone in the city, there is no such reason.

But even the most basic disaster relief and ensuring that these refugees in Gaoyi County will not starve to death, this can not be done at all, which shows the extent of its inaction.

It's no wonder that after the development of the Black Mountain Army in the early stage, it is now located in the northwest of Jizhou and can live a lively life.

There is a steady stream of new troops joining in to maintain the consumption of the Black Mountain Army, so it would be strange if it is not nourished.

……

"Your Majesty, what a coincidence, the small shop is already full, the private rooms and hall seats are full."

"How about warming it up for you, packing it up, and bringing it back to your house to taste slowly, or can you wait a little longer?"

Just when Cao Ang's thoughts were racing.

I could hear the bartender with a smiling face in my ear, explaining to the people who came by.

During the peak period of passenger flow, it is normal for the entire wine house to be full.

Cao Ang didn't take it to heart.

It's just that he soon heard someone respond.

"There are strict rules at home, and you can't take things like drinks back home. Why don't you reserve a seat for me when there's a seat available?"

"I'll come back later!"

It is not the above content that attracts Cao Ang.

It was this man's voice, inexplicably comfortable to listen to, with the feeling of a gentleman, as gentle as jade.

And while being gentle and elegant, it also has a masculine look, and the timbre is very characteristic.

This made Cao Ang couldn't help sticking his head out of the window of the private room and glanced down.

But just at a glance.

Cao Ang couldn't help being surprised.

Good guy, where is he so handsome? !

……

I saw that this person was dressed in white, with a silver crown on his head. He was well-proportioned and slender, and his limbs were vigorous and powerful. In his arms and other positions, he could faintly see distinct muscles.

It can be seen that he is a practitioner with considerable martial arts skills, and his level is definitely not low.

If that's all, that's fine.

The key is that Cao Ang looked down from a high position and could clearly see that the man facing his direction had a handsome face.

He is handsome and extraordinary.

Cao Ang had to admit that this was the most handsome person he had ever seen except himself since he came to this era.

Even Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun are probably a little inferior in front of this kid.

But it's not a big problem.

No matter how handsome this guy is, there is still a big gap between him and him, so he suppressed him with a backhand.

of course.

In a place like Gaoyi County, Cao Ang immediately became interested in meeting such a strange man.

What if it is another talent?

After all, with a strange appearance, most people have strange abilities.

He immediately said to Dian Wei: "A Dian, have you seen that man, please come and invite him to our private room for a drink together."

……

Not long after.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps going upstairs.

The white-clothed man that Cao Ang had seen before quickly climbed up the stairs and appeared in front of Cao Ang.

"I overheard the conversation between the bartender and Your Excellency earlier, thinking that my private room is big after all, so I simply invite Your Excellency to come up for a drink, so as not to wait any longer."

Sensing the puzzled look on the man's face, Cao Ang explained.

And listening to Cao Ang's kind words.

The visitor also showed a kind smile on his face, bowed slightly to Cao Ang, and bowed his hands.

Then he said happily.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

After the three sat down again.

Just a few drinks.

Cao Ang began to talk.

"This strong man, I see that you are dressed in such a suit, and you still have a hasty look on your face. You must not be a local, you must have passed here from another place?"

Hearing this, the man immediately put down the wine bar.

Then he said with a smile to Cao Ang.

"Young Master, you have a pair of discerning eyes. I am indeed not from Gaoyi County, but from Zhending County in this county. Passing through here, I am planning to go to Nangong County."

……

Zhending County, Nangong County?
These two place names are a little sensitive in Cao Ang's mind. The former is someone's hometown, and the latter is where the various forces in Jizhou are now meeting.

As soon as he heard it, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Several thoughts flashed through my mind one after another.

Dressed in white clothes, he looks so handsome, with extraordinary martial arts skills, and he also comes from Zhending County, Changshan.

Depend on!
It wouldn't be such a coincidence that we would come across it, could this be that person in front of me?
