"Father!"

From a distance, I saw the arrival of Cao Cao's team.

After Cao Ang yelled loudly.

The red rabbit horse under the driver's seat flew all the way to the front of Cao Cao.

One turned over and jumped off the horse.

Then he cupped his hands in front of him and bowed to the end.

"The child sees the father!"

He heard the familiar voice of his son, and saw him bowing in front of him.

Cao Cao was equally excited.

He casually tossed the whip to the guards beside him, then got off the horse as well, and rushed to Cao Ang in two or three steps.

"Get up, my son, get up, my son!"

while talking.

Cao Cao supported Cao Ang's elbow with both hands, and helped him up with all his strength.

After Cao Ang held his head high.

Cao Cao looked at his son who was still handsome and heroic, his eyes were full of relief, and his heart was full of sighs.

The father and son had been separated for nearly a year.

That doesn't sound like a long time.

But you must know that before Cao Cao, in order to train his son Cao Ang into a qualified heir, he often took it wherever he went.

Whether it is going to Luoyang to take office or to be an official in a local area, most of them are brought with them, and it is rare to see such a situation that has not been seen for many years.

So meeting again in Yecheng today is a very happy thing for Cao Cao.

At the same time, it was precisely because he wanted to see Cao Ang.

Cao Cao would still lead his soldiers northward when the crisis in Wei County had been resolved and all forces had chosen to retreat.

……

"Zixiu, I've heard about what happened in Wei County these days."

"You did very well!"

"Destroy the bandits, behead the enemy, and forcefully land the ambitious people who invade the bandits. All the forces in the north are deterred by you, and they dare not act rashly."

"This time you are so powerful in the world, your reputation spreads far and wide, and your family is also honored. You didn't embarrass your father. You are worthy of being the unicorn of my Cao family!"

Cao Cao praised him without hesitation.

Cao Ang has given the highest level of evaluation for the many feats he has made during this period of time.

These praises were indeed from Cao Cao's heart.

After all, on the premise that the Yanzhou base camp was restrained by Yuan Shu and failed to provide support, Cao Ang still managed everything.

This is what a capable person cannot do.

Even because of this time, under the auspices of Cao Ang, the great melee in the Kanto area surrounding Wei County achieved quite fruitful results.

Even the status of the entire Cao family has risen sharply.

The aristocratic families of the counties and counties in Yanzhou are more and more closely supporting the rule of the Cao family.

Many people in the surrounding states and counties began to secretly contact the Cao family forces, including Qingzhou and Yuzhou.

you could put it that way.

In the Kanto melee, Cao Ang won a brilliant victory.

It directly promoted the Cao family to become the top power in the entire Kanto region, and even laid a solid foundation for further becoming the top power in the world.

……

And at this moment, after hearing his father's praise.

Cao Ang grinned, revealing a cheerful smile.

Then he cupped his hands and replied: "Father, together with His Royal Highness Chen Wang, won three battles and three victories. The one who beat Yuan Gonglu ran away with his head in his arms, and only dared to run away."

"Our Cao family is now powerful and famous all over the world, and our father's contribution is absolutely indispensable!"

Cao Cao heard this.

He narrowed his eyes and sneered.

"You boy, you praise me for your father, but you praise me instead. Why do we father and son praise each other so much!"

Cao Ang let out a hey hey.

I don't want to say more.

He just pointed in the direction of Yecheng.

"Father has come from a long distance, and the boat and car are exhausting. Please come to the city quickly with the child. I will order someone to prepare a reception banquet in the county mansion to wash off the dust for my father."

Cao Cao nodded first.

But he used his chin again to signal to the people who were waiting respectfully not far away.

"There is no rush to enter the city."

"I'll go and see your civil servants first, and by the way, deal with those local clans in Wei County."

"After all, I have traveled all the way here, if I don't give you a town, it will be in vain!"

As the father and son said so.

Not long after.

Then outside the south gate, there was a burst of honorific titles such as "Fu Jun" and "Cao Gong" one after another.

…………

The banquet went very well.

After all, Cao Ang's status in Wei County is already like a true god. At this moment when his prestige reaches its peak, no one will open his eyes to oppose him.

What's more, Cao Cao is the father of Cao Ang.

It is still the highest controller of Yanzhou.

Then, it is not an exaggeration for Wei Jun to show such respect and respect to this Duke Cao who came from afar.

During the whole banquet process, they were also singing praises, which did not reflect the "suppressing a town" in Cao Cao's words at all.

And at the moment in the quiet room.

The father and son sat opposite each other at the table.

Cao Cao, whose face was flushed from drinking too many glasses of wine, was holding a bowl of tea soup, chatting to sober up.

After taking a few sips.

Cao Cao put the tea bowl aside, then straightened his face, and asked Cao Ang solemnly.

"Zixiu, he came from a long way for his father. He also found out a lot of news about Wei County on the road. There are still many details about the specific situation."

"Tell me now, has the crisis in Wei County been completely resolved now, and is there any hidden danger?"

……

It is normal for Cao Cao to be worried.

After all, five routes attacked Cao before.

The noise was so loud that it really frightened many people. Even if it is now announced to the public that the crisis has been resolved, Cao Cao must confirm it again.

Otherwise he is not at ease.

Faced with such deep concern for his father.

Cao Ang nodded with great certainty, and said firmly, "Father can rest assured!"

"The five forces that besieged our Cao family before have either collapsed, retreated, or surrendered to me."

"Except for Yuan Shu's side, where the baby has never been handed over, I can be sure that the other four routes have all been resolved."

I got a satisfactory answer.

Cao Cao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he pointed to the edge of the guide.

"You don't have to worry about Yuan Shu, this person has already fled back to Nanyang County in a hurry, and within a year or so, he is determined not to dare to make any plans against us again!"

When it comes to here.

Cao Cao paused for a moment.

Then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Muttered in a slightly dreamy tone.

"Speaking of this matter, being a father is still like being in a dream, but he was born in the fourth generation and third father, a famous family in the world, the son of the Yuan family of the Yuan family in Runan!"

"Being able to conspire against Nanyang County proves that he is definitely not weak. At least he has enough troops and food, and there is no shortage of usable people under his command."

"Before I hurriedly led my troops to Fuyu County to join forces with His Royal Highness Chen Wang, and was about to start a war with Yuan Gonglu, I was still uneasy."

"I just want to pay a certain price. Even if I lose a considerable part of the soldiers, I have to repel them after a hard battle. If I am not careful, I might be at a disadvantage and lose the battle."

……

Yuan Shu's family background is really good.

After he escaped from Luoyang and became an independent force, his strength can be described as quite powerful.

Even a strong man like Liu Biao relied on the land of Jingzhou and the cooperation of Nanyang County to resist Yuan Shu's southward movement.

What's more, Cao Cao is very familiar with Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, and he can definitely be called a hero.

Then Yuan Shu, who came from the same source as Yuan Shao, could not be so different no matter how bad he thought it was, right?

This is why Cao Cao has scruples.

It's just that after the real fight...

"It was only when the battle started that I suddenly realized that all the preparations I had made before for the hard battle were just a waste of effort."

"For three consecutive confrontations, Yuan Gonglu didn't even have a decent confrontation. If he hadn't thrown away his helmet and armor all the way, fled in a panic, and behaved in a panic, I would have thought he was showing me weakness and luring me to go deeper!"

"This is really... hard to describe!"

Everyone else loses and doubts life.

Only when he came to Cao Cao, he won some doubts about life, and felt that it was full of unreality.

To say that he won, he was mentally prepared.

But this suppressed Yuan Shu.

How much is still a bit too outrageous!

It's just that at this moment, Cao Ang doesn't care about these thoughts of his father Cao Cao in his heart.

Yuan Shu, that’s how it is.

There are really a lot of resources, and the family background is extremely good, but the battle is fragmented.

The dead bones in the tomb are really not for nothing.

……

of course.

Cao Ang didn't need to point out how good Yuan Shu was, he just smiled and said to Cao Cao, winking.

"No, no, no!"

"Father's words are absurd!"

"It's not that Yuan Gonglu is vulnerable, but it's because you, father, are too strong. Yuan Shu can still appear fierce in front of others, but when he comes to you, he will naturally be beaten back to his original form."

Cao Cao was amused by Cao Ang.

He didn't think he was good at fighting.

Counting the Xiahou brothers under his command, plus a group of generals such as Cao Hong, they can only be regarded as upper-middle at best.

Anyway, when compared with a famous general like his son, he was instantly inferior.

But was interrupted by Cao Ang.

The confused emotions in Cao Cao's heart were also washed away in an instant.

I don't want to think about it anymore.

Turned his attention to another place.

"Ang'er, the ones you said raised their troops to surrender to you should be Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo, right?"

"As far as I know, the combined strength of the two of them is tens of thousands. If you swallow them with a similar number, I'm afraid it will be somewhat unstable!"

Cao Ang couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"What my father said was exactly what I was worried about. Although under Wen Yuan's management, the two groups of troops have been completely split up, and then dispersed and mixed into our army."

"However, under the premise that our military strength itself is not dominant, turmoil is indeed likely to occur."

As Cao Ang's voice fell.

After Cao Cao thought about it for a while, he tapped on the table and said, "In this case, let's exchange the songs under our hands, father and son."

"You hand over all Zhang Yang's trilogy to me, and I'll send you an equal number of soldiers and horses, so that everyone can be safe!"

With a background behind it, it is easy to do things.

If you can't handle it by yourself, let Comrade Cao operate it, and it will become easy.

"Then follow my father's words!"

…………

Then, after discussing a few things.

Cao Cao saw that it was getting late, and the father and son didn't have much time to sit and talk with each other in secret.

Just leave other topics aside.

He quickly found a map on the table and spread it out in front of Cao Ang.

Then he suppressed the smile on his face.

Quite seriously, he asked: "Ang'er, Wei Commandery is now completely in your hands. In addition to the Qinghe Kingdom and the nine prefectures of Jizhou that were agreed upon in the previous Quartet Agreement, our Cao family has acquired the second one."

"I don't know what you plan to do next."

"Should we continue to take root in Wei County and further plot the entire territory of Jizhou, or do we have other plans?"

This is a grand strategic question.

It is related to which way the Cao family will go next.

For Cao Cao today, he trusts and values ​​him very much, the sole heir.

Cao Ang has proved his outstanding ability and his overall view and vision far beyond ordinary people through practical actions time and time again.

So in Cao Cao's heart.

The will and attitude of the son can completely influence and even influence his own decision-making.

Cao Ang's next strategic plan can basically be verbatim, and it can be copied directly as the strategic plan of the entire great power.

……

And as soon as Cao Cao said this.

Cao Ang couldn't help but get serious.

He first turned the map slightly sideways, then pointed to the locations of Bohai County and Hejian Kingdom, and shook his head at Cao Cao.

"The matter of Jizhou has come to an end for the time being. Hai'er has successfully occupied two counties. Jizhou Mu Hanfu has also obeyed my advice. The entire western part of Jizhou is basically under my influence."

"Even in the eastern part of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, under my secret plan, each regarded the other as enemies, restrained and confronted each other."

"If I further plot the whole territory of Jizhou, then the above three parties will soon discover my intentions, and I am afraid that the many efforts I have made before will be in vain."

"No matter how much Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are enemies, when they know that I intend to make a profit, they will definitely be more vigilant and even join forces to kick me out."

"So, sincerity is impossible!"

Cao Ang bluntly vetoed it, and at this stage, he was planning to plot the entire territory of Jizhou.

After a short pause.

Then he continued to speak eloquently.

"On the other hand, if Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are allowed to choke each other to death, they will both be trapped in the quagmire of eastern Jizhou, and no one will be able to spare their hands."

"At that time, our Cao family can safely and boldly turn our eyes to other places and expand in three directions, east, west, east, and west. At that time, no one can be our hindrance!"

speak here.

Perhaps Cao Ang felt that it was not enough.

The whole person leaned forward a little bit, lowered the volume slightly and said.

"Let's just expand around the area. By the time Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan decide the winner, or realize something is wrong, our strength will be far superior to theirs!"

"At that time, there is no need to do all kinds of planning, just use your strength to clean up the past one by one!"

……

Cao Ang's words can be described as clear.

The reasons for suspending the Jizhou strategy were clearly laid out in front of Cao Cao.

It made Cao Mengde nod repeatedly.

If you continue to plot Jizhou, the success rate is too small, and it is easy to expose yourself.

It would be too great a loss to become the target of public criticism for the sake of a mere one or two counties.

It would be better to lock Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to death.

Our old Cao's family developed wantonly around.

Isn't it beautiful?

Cao Cao is not a man without plan, but after a little thought, he has already understood the key point.

So, he continued.

"Since we don't care about Jizhou for the time being, which direction do you prefer, Zixiu, in the three directions?"

Cao Ang clicked in the order of "Yuzhou-Qingzhou-Sili".

Then he explained to Cao Cao in turn.

"The Heluo area is still dilapidated. Except for the popularity of Hanoi County, the rest is still in ruins."

"Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, contributed a lot in the melee in the Kanto. Even though I contacted him through Yuan Shao, I still owe him a favor."

"Therefore, if you expand westward, you won't get any real benefits. It just adds a bit of illusory land. The gain is not worth the loss, so I put it in the last consideration."

For Cao Ang.

The only function of the land of Heluo.

It is connected to the Guanzhong area.

It's just that nothing has happened in Chang'an right now, and Cao Ang can't reach there, so it's useless for He Luo to take it.

Weight is the lowest.

……

And after calling the west.

Cao Ang put his hand on the Qingzhou area again.

"Qingzhou, as a place that has been plagued by yellow scarves, is slightly better than Heluo, but it is nothing more than a brother-in-arms relationship, not much better."

"The only thing better than the Heluo area is that it is in the middle of Yanzhou and the Bohai Sea. On the premise that Yuan Shao has no time to look south in the north, and Tao Qian's strength in the south is far inferior to ours, this place can be said to be at your fingertips."

"So my boy ranks it ahead of Heluo. If there is a good opportunity, we can take advantage of the opportunity and include it in our name!"

Cao Cao nodded again and again.

His eyes were fixed on the Qingzhou area.

His pupils were full of splendor.

to be frank.

He is a little tempted.

Heluo is too rotten, let's not mention this for now, but although Qingzhou is dilapidated, it is not so dilapidated that it cannot be maintained.

if you can.

Cao Cao intends to move eastward.

When the time comes to connect Yanzhou, Qingzhou and the two counties in Jizhou, the territory of the Cao family will really be regarded as a complete piece.

But think of it here.

Cao Cao couldn't help looking down the map.

"Zixiu, do you think Yuzhou should be the first choice?"

……

Cao Ang nodded slightly.

But before commenting.

He still found a piece of sackcloth to cover Runan County, which occupies the main part of Yuzhou.

Only then did he speak.

"Yuzhou has a total of six prefectures. Except for Runan County and the narrowly distributed Pei State, all the other prefectures border Yanzhou. Even Lu State is located in the hinterland of Yanzhou, so you can get it at your fingertips."

"If you want to take Yuzhou, the biggest opponent is Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu. However, he was defeated by your father this time, and fled back to Nanyang in a hurry. This is a good opportunity given to us by God!"

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to take down all the counties except Runan County, and our strength will increase rapidly at that time!"

It concerns the great enemy Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao's expression couldn't help becoming serious.

But that's all.

After all, he had just defeated Yuan Shu not long ago, not to mention his pride because of it, but he was far less cautious and cautious with Yuan Shu than before.

At worst, we will fight again.

If you can win once, you can win the second time!
You, Yuan Shu, have Sun Jian under his command, but I, Cao Cao, still have my eldest son, Cao Ang.

Don't be afraid of it at all!
……

And in the gap when Cao Cao's thoughts were racing.

Cao Ang said emphatically again.

"Runan County is the foundation of the Yuan family. His family is deeply rooted in the county, firmly controlling the forces of the upper and lower levels, and the management can be described as airtight."

"So in a place like this, the baby would just give up, but other counties and states have no difficulty at all. Even now, Chen Guo is equivalent to being in our power."

"Besides, Yuzhou is a large and prosperous state with a large population. Although it has been ravaged and destroyed by the Yellow Turban bandits, the foundation is still here."

"It's not difficult to get it, and it has great benefits at the same time, it is undoubtedly the best choice!"

Speaking of this.

Cao Ang picked up the tea bowl.

I moistened my mouth a little, and said no more.

Leave enough room for thinking to his father Cao Cao.

After a long while.

Cao Cao's eyes froze just now.

The right hand slapped the table case violently, and immediately made a decision.

"Just as Zixiu said, our Cao family will focus on Yuzhou from now on. Except for Runan County, which is not considered for the time being, we should work hard to win the rest of the counties!"

"If Yuan Gonglu refuses to accept it and wants to fight again, then we father and son will accompany us to the end!"

Listen to your father's decision.

Cao Ang showed a smile on his face.

very good!

The father and son have the same opinion, which means that the big ship of the Cao family will have the highest efficiency.

……

Now that you have made up your mind.

Cao Cao immediately found a blank bamboo slip, and then recorded the many things he just talked about on it, so as not to miss key information.

And so on.

He raised his head and asked Cao Ang.

"Ang'er, since the next focus is on Yuzhou, there is no need for you to stay in Weijun."

"After dealing with the matter here, you can take your troops back to East County to sit in town. If you need to come forward at that time, you can respond faster."

Cao Ang nodded.

"Father, if you don't tell me, I am planning to return to Dongjun. After all, if we attack Yuzhou, we still need to be famous."

"After returning to Puyang, I will take action to get this title."

Cao Cao let out a "huh".

When I was about to say something.

Cao Ang's voice came to my ears again.

"Besides that, there is another important matter that I need to report to you, father."

"Oh? But it doesn't matter!"

……

"The boy has now fallen in love with a woman, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, named Zhen Jiang, and I want to marry her as my wife."

"Uh-huh?!!"

It can be said that it is earth-shattering to say a word.

Cao Cao didn't react at first.

When he woke up.

His eyes were already wide open, and he looked at Cao Ang in astonishment, but after just a second, this astonishment turned into surprise in an instant.

"it is good!"

"very good!"

"Zhongshan Zhen's family, I have heard a little about this family. Although it has declined now, it is still a prominent family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years. This family background is enough!"

"As for the woman named Zhen Jiang you mentioned, since you are in love with her, she is also a virtuous and virtuous person, so there is nothing to worry about as a father!"

"Of course, it's best for you to bring me to have a look and get to know her, so I can tell your mother about it when I go back."

Cao Cao said a lot in one breath.

Cao Ang, who was sitting opposite him, could clearly feel how excited his father was when he said these words.

Even his mouth was trembling non-stop.

He also knows why.

Mainly because it took too long.

When she was in Luoyang City, her mother, Mrs. Ding, had already been urging this matter.

Now, two years have passed since then, which is a long time span.

……

In fact, like young people in this era, men are usually married when they are fifteen or sixteen years old.

The reason why Cao Ang is different.

Or it was because during the middle period, I ran around with my father Cao Cao and was always taken by my side, so I didn't have time to think about it.

The result is not too young until now.

Naturally, I started to be rushed.

And Cao Cao is the father of Cao Ang.

That was a little anxious to get angry.

It is a very important thing to carry on the family line, not to mention a clan like the Cao family, even ordinary people, it is also regarded as a top priority.

Therefore, Cao Ang has never formally married his wife, and has nothing to do with his knees. This is something that worries Cao Cao and keeps talking about it all day long.

At least when in the state capital.

Mrs. Ding often whispered in Cao Cao's ear.

The husband and wife were anxious to get angry together.

It's just that Cao Cao knows his son better than his wife, and knows that he is a very independent person.

This has been especially true in the past two years.

Urging is not urging.

We can only wait for Cao Ang to make his own choice.

But fortunately.

This time he went north and came to Yecheng, and finally waited for his son to talk about it, and it was considered an end of his heart.

……

"Well, it's too late today, Ang'er, you bring someone here tomorrow."

"As long as this woman's appearance and temperament pass the test, as a father, I will absolutely respect your opinion, and I can also speak on your mother's side."

"Once this matter is settled, I will immediately send someone to send your mother to Puyang County, and she will take care of this matter at that time."

Speaking of it.

Cao Cao remembered something again.

He hurriedly added: "By the way, this Zhen family should be the one you told me to let them do business in the whole territory of Yanzhou, right?"

Seeing Cao Ang nodding, it should be yes.

Cao Cao thought about it a little in his heart.

Then he continued to order.

"According to what you told me before, the Zhen family is now attached to our Cao family, and it is a family that is ordered by our Cao family to manage business affairs."

"In this way, our Cao family can't despise them even more, and tell others to gossip after listening to them. Our father and son are not such people."

"Who is the person in charge of the Zhen family right now? There are elders in the family who have the final say. After meeting the daughter of the Zhen family tomorrow, I will take some free time to meet the person in charge of the Zhen family."

……

Cao Cao's affairs can be regarded as impeccable.

Not only took care of Zhen Jiang himself.

Along with the Zhen family.

Cao Cao also did not because of its vassal attributes.

And any contempt and disdain.

of course.

In the final analysis, it's all about Cao Ang's face. As long as his son likes it, he, as a father, will basically support him unconditionally.

Unless you really can't see it.

Otherwise, the next meeting will be nothing more than a formality and a little understanding in my heart.

More importantly, the son must get married as soon as possible.

Then quickly spread the branches and leaves.

Give birth to a bunch of children.

Only in this way can we ensure that the family will not have no successors, and that the family will be able to live forever and live forever.

ps. Dragon Boat Festival Ankang brothers!

It's a little late, mainly because my thoughts are not broken, so I just finished writing in one breath.
