Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 156 Cao Cao meets the Seven Heroes

Cao Cao is a man of action: he said he wanted to get to know seven people, but he actually went to get to know those seven people.

With a bang, Cao Cao ran straight there with a smile on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Seven heroes, how are you? My surname is Cao and my name is Cao. I see that you are doing very well in running. I want to I know you guys acquainted, I don't know if you will pay me some face?"

Seven people:"……"

Panting, the seven people seemed to be frightened and fell down together.

"Huh?" Cao Cao was shocked, raised his hand, and quickly ordered someone to help him up.

When they were young, the seven of them stood still and had no energy to speak. They could only stare at Cao Cao.

...This scene is really funny.

Withdrawing his gaze, Liu Bian looked at the contestants who were arriving at the finish line one after another, and found that everyone was warmly welcomed: those with families supported each other with one hand and shook the clothes in their hands, and most of them belonged to the other party; It was still alone, but it was lying on the ground. Before it had time to breathe, it was lifted up by a stranger and a kind person...

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and although their faces looked tired, they were in high spirits.

Especially after this round of "winter long-distance running", the entire Nanpi County seems to be much more lively. It has swept away the desertedness of the previous few days and is no longer lifeless.

"——What did Meng De think?" Liu Bian heard Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction in his ears, "I also admit that the opponent's running results are good, but there is no need to go there in person? It simply lowers the value..."

Yuan Shao said the last sentence very softly.

But Liu Bian still heard it.

Liu Bian glanced at Yuan Shao, then at Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Shi Yue, and was relieved to see that everyone had different reactions: Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had similar attitudes; Guan Yu had nothing to do with him; It doesn't matter; Liu Bei and Shi Yue disagreed, but they didn't refute Yuan Shao out loud.

Clapping his hands, Liu Bian ignored Yuan Shao's muttering and asked, "It's getting late. Is lunch ready?"

Shi Yue said: "Reporting to Your Highness, it has been cooked already! Does Your Highness need to move to the "dining room"? "

Dining room? ——Is it similar to the big pot rice place in the past?

Liu Bian hesitated and nodded reservedly.

Shi Yue raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, please come with me."

Then, Shi Yue led the way, while Liu Bian led Yuan Shao and others to the so-called dining room.

As for Cao Cao, he was accidentally left behind by Liu Bian...

Dining room, dining room, but the dining room is just as Liu Bian thought. It is like a big pot of rice, but it is more advanced than the big pot of rice: it is not open-air, but a large bungalow built roughly, which can barely keep out the wind and rain. It can accommodate thousands of people sitting on the ground and having a meal.

Looking at the food for lunch, they are all served in wooden barrels. They are big, full and steaming. There are more than a hundred barrels in total. There are as many as [-] kinds of dishes, ranging from the pods of the honey locust tree to the The steamed crabs and boiled sea fish in the river, including beans and seafood, are enough for everyone to enjoy.

The most important thing is: all the meals here are free!

Liu Bian and his party came first and were placed in a separate room by the chefs.

And He Xian waited for the guards, so Hou was in the corner, so it was inconvenient to sit and eat and drink with Liu Bian and his party.

And because the status of Liu Bian and his party was so valuable, the waiters were very careful when serving food in this room - Yuan Shao and others were used to it, but Liu Bian kept an embarrassed face the whole time: he felt as if he was being served. Treated differently...

If you don’t believe it, take a look outside the house. At that time, the contestants were coming one after another, but they had to get bowls and chopsticks and queue up to order.

It was far more troublesome than Liu Bian and his party.

Although this way of comparison can highlight Liu Bian's extraordinaryness from the side, he is flattered and not used to it.

Liu Bei was very careful, and noticed that Liu Bian's attitude was slightly twisted, so he asked, "Your Highness, is this dish not to your liking?"

"Next time... let's try to eat with the people?" Liu Bian suggested abruptly.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao and others looked at each other and said in unison: "Your Highness! No!"

what? !

Liu Bian looked at Yuan Shao and the others blankly.

Yuan Shaohan said in a voice: "Your Highness, there are so many people talking outside, what should you do if you encounter any accident?"

Yuan Shu also said: "Your Highness, be careful if you eat unclean food, you will easily get sick."

Shi Yue thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, it's okay to eat with the people, but if the common people know that the dignified Bohai Governor also comes here to eat, it would be a little inappropriate? Your Highness might scare people... ..."

Liu Bei said: "Your Highness, I don't agree with you either. Your Highness is too popular. What will happen if you are surrounded by others? You can't hit or scold. It will only cause trouble. It's better to keep a distance from everyone... Besides, Well, to reflect His Highness’ benevolence, eating with the people is not the only option?”

Liu Bian: "..."

Yes, yes, whenever I make a suggestion, someone will always refute it... Anyway, I can't just blend into the crowd at will?Just because I am the eldest son of the Emperor? ——Then how can I manage and develop the loyalty of an army if I don’t become familiar with all the contestants?
Liu Bian was worried, but it was inconvenient to say this.

There is nothing I can do. It seems that I will attend more meetings in the future and try my best to leave a good impression on everyone?
——Although Liu Bian is the King of Bohai and also the governor of Bohai, he is busy all day long and has not shown his face in public for a long time...Liu Bian is deeply worried that the people of Nanpi County are... It's not like I forgot about him.

After coming back to his senses, Liu Bian said to Liu Bei and everyone present: "You are right! I have thought too much...I will not eat with the people.

Everyone, you have worked hard this morning... Do you still have to ask everyone to continue in the afternoon?Last for more than a month! "

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness! We will never let down Your Highness's expectations!" Everyone present spoke beautifully.

Hearing Liu Bian's eyes widen, he patted his head, as if he remembered something, and urged: "Everyone, eat quickly! If you don't eat, it will be cold."

--Huh?Did he forget someone?who? ……never mind!do not care!
As a result, Yuan Shao and others held bowls, used chopsticks, picked up vegetables, and happily ate a sumptuous lunch.

After the meal, Yuan Shao and others left temporarily, saying that they had important matters to attend to, and they would definitely attend the long-distance running competition in the afternoon on time. Only then did Liu Bian remember: The person he had forgotten was Cao Cao... Embarrassed!

Staring at the almost empty dishes and bowls in front of him, leaving at most one or two vegetable leaves and cold soup, Liu Bian twitched the corner of his mouth and shouted: "Xiao Cao!"

Cao Ang came in response.

Liu Bian sighed and asked, "Have you had lunch?"

Cao Ang said: "Not yet."

This is wonderful.

Without squinting his eyes, he said: "Well, I will allow you to eat with the Dongguang County Magistrate at noon today!"

"...Here!" Cao Ang agreed without thinking.

Afterwards, Cao Ang came to his senses: Isn't the Magistrate of Dongguang County... his father?
Cao Ang was very happy to learn that he could eat at the same table as his father. He quickly said goodbye to Liu Bian and went to find Cao Cao.When Cao Ang found Cao Cao, he was amused to see that his father was still discussing something with the seven warriors.When he listened carefully, Cao Ang could still hear what his father said: "Your Highness promised to allow me to train alone", "heavy cavalry", "mounts are ready", "you can actually ride a horse", "promise" and so on. Cao Ang blinked.

Hesitantly, Cao Ang didn't know whether he should go over to find his father, for fear of interrupting his father's plan.

Quietly, Cao Ang stayed there for a long time.

After a long time, the seven warriors had completely recovered their breath and were no longer tired. When Cao Cao suggested, "Do you know where the dining room is? Let's go to the dining room to eat, so as not to be late and all the food is finished." Cao Ang then After calming down, he walked forward and said softly:
"Father."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, as if he had just seen Cao Ang. He subconsciously froze for a moment, then smiled, and said with a smile: "Ang'er? Why are you here?"

Cao Ang also acted as if he just came, and said embarrassingly: "Father, if you don't go to the dining room, I'm afraid the dining room will be empty...Your Highness, they have finished their meal!"

"What?" Cao Cao jumped up and waved his hands quickly and said, "Let's go have a meal! Let's discuss anything after dinner!"

After saying this, Cao Cao signaled the seven warriors to follow him.

On the way, Cao Ang tilted his head, looked at the seven warriors at the right time, and said curiously:

"Father, who are these people?"

As if he was deliberately waiting for this opportunity, Cao Cao hurriedly said: "You don't know me, but you must remember that during the long-distance running in the morning, these seven people ran the fastest, right? - It was these seven people!"

"Really?" Cao Ang's eyes lit up, and he bowed his hands to the seven warriors, "Hello, seven warriors! What a coincidence! His Highness also said before that you are very impressive. I was wondering if I could do it if I had the chance. How about getting to know you?"

Of course the seven of them understood who "Your Highness" was referring to.

When they first heard that His Highness had praised him personally, the seven people's faces turned red and they said excitedly: "Is it true? Dare I ask who the young general is...?"

Looking Cao Ang up and down, the seven of them glanced at Cao Cao, with a trace of certainty in their eyes.

Sure enough, I heard Dongguang County Magistrate say: "This is Cao Ang, my eldest son! He is 13 years old this year!"

Ten, 13 years old? !
This time, it was the turn of the seven people to be stunned: This little boy was only in his early ten years, and he was already His Highness's bodyguard... As expected, "Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparison with goods will lead to throwing away"!The seven people were speechless, except for admiration and envy, they were still admiring and envying!
Among the seven people, one person had a very cheerful personality and praised: "The son of Magistrate Dongguang is worthy of being your highness's bodyguard. He is really steady and convincing!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said proudly: "Hahahaha! Don't be deceived by this boy... When I first came to my lord, this boy was too lively and was almost disliked by my lord?
It is only because of the good discipline of my lord that I have made such progress today! "

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The seven people looked at each other and each realized something.

... When Cao Cao and Cao Ang brought the seven warriors to the dining room, they were obviously a step late, but they saw that most of the barrels were empty and there was no food to eat.

Unfortunately, half of the contestants who came to eat... still hadn't eaten yet.

Everyone complained and was depressed, so the chefs had to work overtime urgently to cook food.

Sitting on his knees in front of the table, Cao Cao was unexpectedly open-minded and sighed: "Is this restaurant very popular? In just the blink of an eye, all the food was eaten... It seems we can only wait a little longer?"

Cao Ang and the seven others were silent, waiting patiently for new food with Cao Cao.

In fact, there were quite a few contestants like Cao Cao and his entourage waiting for their meal.

Cao Ang felt a little sympathy for the chefs and smacked his tongue: "I don't know if the food is enough?"

Cao Cao said: "Enough to eat, enough to eat. After all, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Su are county magistrates. When hosting this "winter long-distance race", they will prepare enough food... At most, the kitchen cannot hold it, so they have to go back to Bohai Prince's Mansion or Nanpi The county government went to move it. "

Cao Ang was startled for a moment, and then he remembered Mr. Zhang and Mr. Su... Couldn't he just refer to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang?

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Su, as the officials in charge of the county government's wealth, have always lived in seclusion and did not go in and out with other county magistrates... It is said that this is to prevent Bohai County officials from borrowing money - His Highness returned to Nanpi at about From the beginning of the county, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, two men who are comparable to the "gods of wealth", were brought back, and they happened to support all the county magistrates!

As a result, the county magistrates began to spend money lavishly, filing various documents and planning to build some buildings, which once made His Highness very embarrassed.

Later, within just two days, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang no longer appeared in public.

But this does not prevent Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang from being in charge of logistics management, it's just that not many people will notice it.

Patting the table, Cao Ang said: "That's great, as long as there is something to eat!"

Happily, Cao Ang sat in a corner, waiting for the food with peace of mind.

Cao Cao and the seven warriors smiled knowingly.

Pushing the table lightly, Cao Cao suddenly said: "Guys, what I said before was serious. Please consider it again?

If it's convenient, please give me the answer before dinner, okay? "

What words?
Cao Ang's heart moved, and he quietly looked at the seven strong men.

what?
Before meal? !
The seven warriors looked at me and I looked at you. They all remained silent, as if they were in trouble.

The seven people did not answer, and Cao Cao was very determined and looked at each other with squinted eyes.

When I was young, one of them said: "Magistrate Cao, it's not because I'm not happy with it, it's really... really incomprehensible! Why do "conscripts" enlist in the army and have to keep their names incognito, so they can't let their family members know? ——To tell you the truth, County Magistrate Cao, there are elders in my family and younger ones, it is really impossible!

If I disappear inexplicably, what should my family do? "

Before Cao Cao could open his mouth, the other person had black lines all over his head, and said, "Old Wang, Lao Wang, I remember correctly, there is no "old" in your family, right?Where does "you are old" come from? "

The man yelled: "Dude, what are you looking for to scold? - I'm referring to "Mr. Zeng"!Doesn’t it count as old if you are old? "

The other person heard the words and decisively kept silent.

"Everyone, there is a reason why I asked you to be "anonymous"... If you agree, you will receive more rigorous training than ordinary soldiers. When you perform tasks, you will be required to hide yourself and hide in the dark. A fatal blow from the enemy can change the entire outcome of the war at a critical moment!
That's why it needs to be kept secret!

The secret must never be revealed, nor can it be told to family members——

If the team you formed becomes famous and you are exposed, it may cause inconvenience or even danger to your family!

Therefore, to prevent serious consequences, I suggest that you "keep your name anonymous."

In fact, it’s okay if you don’t want to be “anonymous”, as long as you bring all your family members with you... But when you are training hard all day long, how can you take care of your family members? "

Cao Cao kept talking and boldly promised: "As long as you are willing to join the army, I will treat your family well and send people to protect you closely. You can rest assured--

I even thought of a name for the team, so I named it "Tiger and Leopard"!
Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, how about it? "

Everyone: "..."

Everyone was speechless.
