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

Chapter 285 Xun Yu's circle of friends is opening! 【6000 words please subscribe please monthly ticket】

Cao Ang actually didn't think about it until now.

Why did Dong Zhuo fall so quickly?

The change was too sudden!
Even when he was in control of the government in Luoyang City, this guy was also tyrannical, burning, killing, looting, disregarding human life, and raging poison.

But at that time, he was still enterprising, and at the same time, he had extremely good control over the army he depended on for survival. Even if he starved himself, he would not starve the soldiers.

Until Cao Ang was granted the title of Marquis of Wei Xiang and was about to go north to Jizhou, Dong Zhuo still had a very strong interest in the land of the Central Plains.

However, only half a year has passed.

Dong Zhuo's enterprising heart, like ice and snow under the sun, disappeared without a trace, replaced by ultra-conservative thoughts.

No longer interested in the Central Plains.

There is a posture that from now on until the end of his life, even if he dies, he will die in Chang'an.

If it's just that, that's fine.

The key point is that this big black fat man is so conservative that he is a little frenzied. He even started to exploit the soldiers under him, using bad money and big money to pay the army instead.

Doesn't this mean that you don't die fast enough?

It felt like Dong Zhuo's brain was eaten by zombies quietly. This change was so abrupt that Cao Ang had to think about it.

of course.

At this stage.

Dong Zhuo's death has nothing to do with Cao Ang, I just hope he can die more slowly.

After all, once he died too early, the resources in Dong Zhuo's hands would fall into the hands of Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang generals, and it would be difficult to get them back.

It's best to wait for yourself to follow the three-step strategy, and after completing the first two steps, another one will collapse and collapse, that would be great.

With this thought in mind.

Cao Ang asked Wu'an to take a trip again.

The purpose this time is relatively simple, to enter Chang'an City quietly, and then send the reply letter I wrote to Lu Bu, and it will be considered a success.

It's a pity that the carrier pigeons haven't been trained yet, and the Cao family doesn't have an intelligence contact station in Chang'an, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble.

…………

That night.

In the residence of the Cao family.

Holding a lantern in his hand, Cao Ang was walking between the corridors of the courtyard. This road leads to the wing room of the west courtyard where Dong Bai is.

Originally according to the schedule.

Cao Ang will mobilize the remaining soldiers and horses tomorrow, and immediately lead his army south to join Zhang Liao and others.

On the last night before leaving, he was supposed to spend the night with his first wife, Zhen Jiang.

But today, after all, I received news from Chang'an, and learned that Dong Bai's grandfather, that is, Dong Zhuo, has fallen into a half-dead situation.

Although Dong Bai didn't know about it.

But Cao Ang thought about coming over to comfort him.

Walked along the path for a while.

Soon they arrived at Dong Bai's residence.

After giving instructions to the maids and maids serving in the yard, Cao Ang strolled towards the brightest room in the whole yard.

Only when he came to the door.

But quite a bit surprised to find out.

The young lady who used to be playful and playful in the past is actually leaning over the desk at this moment, looking at the few scrolls of bamboo slips in front of her, pretending to be familiar with them.

Still holding a pen in one hand, he still writes and draws on the bamboo slips from time to time, but he doesn't know what he is doing.

……

"My Xiaobai suddenly changed his temper. In the dead of night, he actually studied hard with his papers. This is really beyond my husband's expectation!"

Cao Ang's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Dong Bai, who was immersed in the letter, suddenly looked towards the door as if he had just woken up from a dream.

After being in a trance for a while.

The eldest lady woke up suddenly.

Then, like a spring, he got up on the spot with a "whoosh", and then a rabbit swooped down, and disappeared in the same place in the next second, hanging on Cao Ang's body.

His hands were wrapped around Cao Ang's shoulders, his legs were firmly wrapped around Cao Ang's waist, and his whole body was directly suspended in the air.

So much so that Cao Ang had no choice but to reach out his hand quickly to support Xiao Bai, for fear that she would fall if she lost her grip.

"Husband~"

Before Cao Ang could ask the reason clearly, Dong Bai's sweet and cloying voice came to his ears.

hiss!
Cao Ang couldn't help but his whole body trembled, he only felt his eardrums were sore, and his heart was itchy again and again, so he couldn't control it.

Weird!

Xiaobai wasn't like this before!

Even after merging with himself, Xiaobai's arrogant temperament of a young lady has been washed away a lot.

But how can it be so easy for people to go from one extreme to another?

The eldest lady just reduced the degree, instead of turning into a little girl who is greasy all day long, has excessive sugar content, and acts like a baby to herself when she meets her.

So probably something happened.

So that Dong Bai would react like this.

Combining the big and small things in the mansion during this period of time, and the appearance of Dong Bai sitting at the table before he spoke out, bitterly looking at the letter.

Cao Ang had a little guess in his mind.

……

After a slight turn of thought.

Cao Ang supported Dong Bai, put her on the table, pinched her round face with his hand, and asked with a warm smile.

"What's the matter, my eldest lady, did someone bully you, or did you suffer some kind of grievance?"

"Or maybe you made some mistake that provoked Ajaan's punishment?"

The latter is the guess in Cao Ang's mind.

After all, since he came back, the only major change that the entire Cao family has made is that there is an extra mistress in the mansion, and Dong Bai may be in trouble.

However, what surprised Cao Ang was that.

Dong Bai shook his head decisively.

Then he pointed to the letter sitting below, and said in a delicate voice, "I didn't make any mistakes, and Sister Ajiang was also very kind to me."

"But my worry is that Sister Ajiang is too kind to me, I really can't bear it!"

Cao Ang: "?"

A trace of doubt came to mind.

"What kind of good method is it, why don't you tell me about it?"

Dong Bai nodded slightly.

While moving his small round buttocks, he pulled out the letter with all his might.

Then while handing it to Cao Ang, he explained in his mouth: "Didn't my husband ask me what I was looking at before, and I was looking at this."

"It's not a collection of classics and history, nor is it poetry and poetry. This is an account book given to me by sister Zhen Jiang!"

Speaking of it.

Dong Bai paused slightly.

And there was a wry smile on the back, and the whole person was full of helplessness and said: "Sister Zhen Jiang thinks that I am also a member of the mansion, so I should participate in the affairs of the mansion. She clearly stated that this is my right."

"How could Sister Zhenjiang know, I'm obviously a lazy person, if I'm asked to look at these accounts and take care of the affairs of the mansion, my head will burst."

"So my husband, please tell my sister and me, let her take this job back, I really can't do it!"

……

Dong Bai's narration.

Suddenly Cao Ang felt dumbfounded.

After making a fuss for a long time, it turned out that this was the case.

Although I don't know exactly what happened.

But I think it's probably Zhen Jiang who, after taking control of the power in the mansion, implemented the policy of diverting water in order to appease all houses and courtyards.

This is essentially a benefit.

After all, the power and status of a concubine who can manage affairs in the mansion and a concubine who is an invisible person are completely different, and there is no comparison at all.

Zhen Jiang is reducing the power in her own hands and distributing it to Dong Bai, Diao Chan and others.

One thing to say, to be able to do this, Zhen Jiang can be regarded as quite generous.

But it's here Missy.

The so-called welfare has become suffering.

With Dong Bai's temperament, she was not someone who could sit quietly and look at these accounts, and then command the servants in the mansion to do this and that.

Compared with holding power, Dong Bai may be more willing to spend the same time riding a horse for a lap.

After fully understanding these.

Cao Ang bent his fingers slightly, and gently scratched the tip of Dong Bai's nose twice.

Then he said with a warm smile: "Your sister Ajiang also has good intentions, but since you don't like it, then I will speak for you about this matter."

……

See Cao Ang take over the matter for himself.

Dong Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

The big stone that had been hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground.

He quickly rolled up the account book and hurriedly put it back on the table.

Dong Bai continued to reply: "I also know that Sister Ajiang is doing it for my own good, because after I take charge of the affairs in the mansion, the servants in the mansion dare not neglect me."

"But I think about it, with the love of my husband and the care of my sisters, I don't care about a penny, and no one will dare to be presumptuous!"

That sounds nice.

So much so that Cao Ang couldn't help laughing.

Full of pampering, he gave a heavy "boo" to Dong Bai's fair and delicate pretty face.

Putting his hands underneath even more forcefully, he transferred Dong Bai from the table to the bed.

Just as he got up and turned back.

Suddenly, Dong Bai's murmur was heard again.

"By the way, my husband, and sister Zhaoji, she doesn't like to meddle in the mundane affairs of the mansion. She just likes to play the piano and read books alone in the yard."

"Sister Yue'er is not good at this either. She seems a little timid and doesn't dare to socialize with strangers. When there are many servants around her, she will feel uncomfortable."

"Husband, why don't you ask the two sisters what they mean, if possible, let them take off their errands and let them rest."

What Dong Bai described was the truth.

Cao Ang still understood something.

Regarding this, he could only secretly sigh in his heart that there are actually many Buddhist women in his back house.

It's hard to think that the atmosphere is not harmonious!
However, these thoughts just drifted in my mind for a while, and then disappeared quickly.

Cao Ang just smiled lightly and said, "What time is it now, don't worry about the older sisters, and sleep peacefully with your husband and me!"

Say it.

Cao Ang directly closed the door and window, blew out two candles, and then saw that in the night, men's and women's robes were scattered into the air, and then scattered here and there.

………………

The next morning.

After entrusting the affairs of the county to Cheng Yu who stayed here, and entrusting Lu Zhi to take care of him.

Cao Ang immediately marched south with his soldiers and horses.

This time, the outcome is decided in one fell swoop.

The Cao family can be said to be mobilized in full force.

Needless to say about his father Cao Cao, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong and other direct line generals, one counts as one, and they are all in the entourage.

This is especially true for Cao Ang.

The defense forces in Puyang County, the prefecture city, were exhausted, and there were not many left, no matter whether it was literature or military.

Now Dongjun and Weijun are integrated into one, the surrounding situation is stable, and all threatening forces have been eliminated or suppressed.

Otherwise, Cao Ang really wouldn't dare to do this.

And in the process of going south.

As soon as Cao Ang crossed the border between Dongjun and Chenliu, Cao Ren and Cao Chun, who were chasing from behind, caught up head-on, and the three parties gathered together.

Cao's army has transformed into a complete body.

Although Cao Ang has no way to calculate in detail how many troops the father and son have dispatched, but roughly estimated, the total may be close to the [-] mark.

This is not the numerical inflation like the Yellow Turban Bandits, but a real regular army.

Although the proportion of the elite continued to shrink after successive water injections, even so, such a huge army was enough to make people frightened.

……

Because the main force of the army is in the hands of his father Cao Cao and Zhang Liao who acted in advance.

Cao Ang's side is a small group.

Moreover, there are more than two thousand cavalry among them.

Therefore, the speed of marching all the way is not slow.

It's just that starting from Puyang County to Fugou County in Chenliu County is more than 400 miles away. Even if the high-speed operation is maintained, it will take about ten days.

After Cao Ang arrived at his destination, he joined Zhang Liao who was stationed here.

It was only now that I learned that Cao Cao had led his troops into Yingchuan County in advance, in order to show an attitude to Jingzhou, to show that Yanzhou had not broken its promise, but approached Yuan Shu as promised.

In this regard.

Cao Ang could only find out that the troops led by his father Cao Cao, as soon as they entered Yingchuan County, went all the way south to Xu County, that is, after Xuchang marched.

Another path was chosen.

After all, my father stepped forward, so I can take a step slower on my side, and straighten out the situation in Yingchuan County first, and it will not be too late to continue going south.

And at this moment, I just entered Yanling County, Yingchuan County.

Cao Ang waited until Xun You, Xun Gongda, who entered Yingchuan first and returned now to report the situation.

……

"Gongda, you and Wen Ruo entered Yingchuan County first, and have been traveling for so many days, what have you gained?"

It is located on the city tower of Yanling County.

Facing the summer night wind, Cao Ang looked at the silent and dark wasteland outside the city.

He opened his mouth quietly and asked Xun You who was behind him.

And after hearing Cao Ang's voice.

Xun You immediately took a step forward, and then reported the results of his uncle and nephew's hard work during this period of time one by one.

"Reporting to General, Yingchuan is a county with a large population, and there are seventeen cities and counties in the county. However, the population exceeded 140 million at its peak, and its density far exceeds that of Jizhou and Yanzhou counties."

"Although it has gone through the turmoil in the Central Plains, it still has a good background."

"As for such a populous county, although it honors the imperial court in name, the actual controllers are mixed from various counties in the county, and there are more than ten families, large and small."

Xun You did not immediately say what he had done.

Instead, he explained the current situation in Yingchuan County, and waited until Cao Ang nodded slightly.

Just then continued.

"Among these local clans, Xun, Chen, Zhong, and Han, who came from the four elders of Yingchuan, are the strongest. The rest of the big and small clans are all headed by these four."

"As long as these four families can unify their opinions and support you, General, the entire Yingchuan County will be under your command in an instant."

"The subordinates and Uncle Wen Ruo are from the Xun family in Yingyin County, Yingchuan County."

……

So many times.

Next, before Cao Ang took the initiative to speak.

Xun You gestured and named each of them.

"Among the four families, the Zhong family is the best to deal with. It is also the subordinates who dare to pat their chests and guarantee that they will respect your existence, General."

"The reason for this is that the Zhong family's foundation is in Changshe County, which is too close to Chenliu County. Once our army dispatches troops, it will arrive at the city of Changshe within a day or two, so the Zhong family dare not go against your will!"

"Furthermore, many of the Zhong family's children are officials in the court, and now they have been coerced by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, which makes them the weakest among the four families."

Cao Ang nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Whether the strength of these families is strong or not, to be honest, it is not enough to talk about it.

Wherever Wang Shi went, they were all ashes.

But he was worried that these families would unite and use the power of the literati to do things. It would not only be difficult, but also disgusting.

But right now, listening to Xun You's description.

There has been a breakthrough among the four clans.

This is the best!
……

"Gongda, keep talking!"

He raised his hand for a little gesture.

Xun You bowed slightly, and continued to speak in a calm tone.

"The situation of the Chen family and the Zhong family is similar. Xu County where they are located is only one step away from Chenliu County. If they start from Chen Country, they can also approach the city in an instant."

"Furthermore, according to what you said, General, Duke Cao's route is to go south through Xu County. Presumably there will be a large army to act as a deterrent, and the Chen family will go smoothly."

"So even though the Chen family is powerful, the subordinates only rank them third."

Cao Ang silently wrote down the key sequence.

Then he paused.

To show that I understand in my heart.

After getting feedback from Cao Ang.

Xun Youxin pointed to the south direction.

"The rest of the Xun family and the Han family are equally difficult to deal with in the eyes of the subordinates, and they are evenly matched."

"Among them, the Han family is based in Wuyang County, which is the southernmost tip of Yingchuan County, close to Luyang County, and is deeply influenced by Yuan Shu."

"As for the Xun family, where the subordinates are from, the problem is that the situation in the family is somewhat complicated."

Cao Ang didn't pay much attention to the Han family.

Firstly, this family is much weaker than the Xun family and the Chen family. If there is only this one enemy, he will be crushed if he closes his eyes.

Secondly, geopolitics itself is a key factor affecting platoons and factions. The Han family made their fortune in Wuyang County, so there is no point in entangled with this issue.

But the words of the Xun family...

……

"Gongda, what do you mean by the complicated situation?"

Hearing such questions.

Xun You showed a bit of helplessness on his face for no reason, then sighed lightly, and responded leisurely.

"To tell you the truth, general, the reason why it is complicated is because there are too many direct branches in the clan."

"Today there are still four uncles and uncles who are still alive. Although they are brothers to each other, they actually have their own plans."

"For example, Uncle Wenruo's father, who is known as the Xun's Two Dragons in the world, must support the general, but it's hard to say about the rest."

Hear this.

Cao Ang couldn't help frowning.

It does feel a bit tricky.

This situation is equivalent to that there are too many older generations in the family, and those who can talk and make up their minds can count several seats in a row.

As for Xun Yu's father, Xun Yu, although he is the oldest and has the highest status among the older generation who are still alive.

But it is impossible for him to decide the direction of the whole family with his own words, especially on the premise that there are three younger brothers who are of the same generation as him, and they are still alive.

This matter, the trouble is here.

……

It's just about these so-called difficulties.

Cao Ang has always faced difficulties.

Besides, Xun You only stated that the attitudes of the three old comrades were uncertain, but he did not say that they were definitely against him.

In any case, we have to meet each other to know the situation.

After the face-to-face meeting.

Reaching a consensus is naturally a joy for all.

On the contrary, Cao Ang is not helpless, maybe it is okay to use some means.

thought here.

Cao Ang immediately ordered Xun You: "Gongda, I would like to trouble you to take someone there and invite all the people in charge of these families to one place. It is best to talk about some things face to face."

The voice just fell.

A smile appeared on Xun You's face.

He said to Cao Ang quite relaxedly: "Don't worry, general, this matter has already been taken care of by my subordinates. When I was running back and forth before, I had already invited them to meet up in Yingyin County. The Han family in Wuyang County, my subordinates have sent Somebody went to deliver the letter."

Before the leader could even open his mouth, he had already finished the matter and was ahead of everyone else.

This is top strategist.

……

Cao Ang nodded very satisfied.

"That's the best way. Our army rested in Yanling County for a day, and then went straight to Yingyin!"

With a wave of his hand, a decision has been made.

Just when it comes to this.

Cao Ang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, where is Wen Ruo now?"

Xun You bowed slightly, cupped his hands and said.

"Uncle has a lot of friends in the county, and he really knows some young talents. He wants to take advantage of this great opportunity of returning home to call some relatives and friends from the past."

"After all, after you take Yuzhou, General, there will definitely be a lot of vacancies for talents. Uncle will do this for you."

"When we parted ways before, we made an appointment to meet in Yingyin County. I think that when you arrive, General, you should be greeted by a crowd of uncles."

After learning about Xun Yu's movements.

Cao Ang was even more emotional.

What a Xun Lingjun who made many friends!

I have been waiting for a long time, and finally his circle of friends is opened, which means that I can be expanded once again as a top strategist.

This taste is really comfortable!

……

At the same time, I have to say one thing.

That was Xun Yu, who had devoted himself to Cao's family, and took the initiative to run for Cao Ang, to recruit scholars he knew well and had friendship with.

Cao Ang didn't even mention this.

Xun Yu had already taken the initiative to do things.

It can be said that the subjective initiative has been brought to the extreme.

Moreover, he still used his own face to seek practical benefits for Cao Ang.

This buddy really has nothing to say!

Xun's uncles and nephews are all outstanding people!
