Lord Yuan

Chapter 12 Cao Cao with a pure heart

Yuan Feng suddenly felt puzzled when he learned that Yuan Shao did not stay in front of his mother's monument.

With his temperament, his filial piety towards his mother was evident to all. He was willing to give up his career and still protect his mother's coffin.

Yuan Feng didn't believe that he was only hot for a few days.

"It's just that according to Xiao Qi, who had brought daily necessities to the young master before, it seemed that a young man in black came to see the young master that day."

"When I heard him talking to the young master, it should be Cao Mengde, the Cao family of Qiao County." The servant bowed and reported.

Yuan Feng asked again: "Then did they say where they were going?"

"Says I'm going to a party."

"Oh, by the way, Young Master once said a few words about "Yuedan Ping".

Yuan Feng waved his hand and the servants left.

"It seems that Mrs. Cao is determined to attach herself to me, Mrs. Yuan?"

Yuan Wei sat aside and said in a deep voice: "Cao Song is more treacherous than eunuchs, and he is also good at amassing wealth. I, the Yuan family, come from a famous family. I think the Cao family just relied on Cao Teng to make a fortune, and has no masterpieces to be handed down. , there are very few family heirlooms, and he is very close to the eunuch, so if we originally interacted with him, I might make other scholars hostile to me, the Yuan family."

Yuan Feng has been an official for many years and has already understood the stakes. He pondered for a long time and did not know why Cao Mengde was obsessed with making friends with Ben Benchu.

I don’t even know whether it is because of the trust of the elders or because of personal behavior.

After all, Yuan Shao is just a concubine. If he wants to attach himself to the Yuan family, shouldn't he choose Yuan Shu, who is his legitimate son?

Yuan Feng really couldn't figure it out. Yuan Wei stood up and walked back and forth in the room thinking.

"When this matter is over, we should cut off contact with the Cao family as soon as possible, so as not to ruin my Yuan family's future." Yuan Wei thought over and over before making a decision.

Yuan Feng also had this intention, so he nodded and said, "I will go and talk to Ben Chu then."

Yuan Shao had already left the Yuan family's residence and was walking side by side with Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao was very tall, more than eight feet tall. Cao Cao was only fifteen or sixteen years old at this time, and his body was not fully developed. Standing next to Yuan Shao, he felt inferior.

"Meng De, it's time to make up for it." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

Cao Cao stood aside and said with hatred in his eyes: "I haven't even done the crowning ceremony yet. How can I have the magnanimity of Brother Ben Chu? After a few more years, I don't know if Brother will look up at me."

Yuan Shao smiled and changed the subject.

"Meng De, I wonder what kind of comments you want to get from this trip?"

Yuan Shaoke still has a deep memory of his famous saying from later generations.

A thief in peacetime and a hero in troubled times.

Xu Na rarely comments on others, and few people can attract his attention. He thinks very highly of himself.

On weekdays, his elder brother usually takes the lead, while he retreats to the second line. Only when his elder brother can't argue with other scholars, he appears with the power of thunder to sweep away the fallen leaves.

Although Xu Si rarely spoke, when he did speak he always struck with precision. In just a few words, the debate could be settled. Very few people could argue for several rounds in front of Xu Si.

Cao Cao's purpose of this trip was to get Xu Zhen to speak respectfully and give him an above-average review. Then he couldn't be happier.

So Cao Cao stopped.

"Brother is from the Yuan family lineage. He is of noble birth. He is completely different from me as a eunuch."

"But I, Cao Mengde, don't want to be with those eunuchs who confuse the court and make the common people ignorant. I would rather die than be one of those people who follow the trend of the people."

"If the eunuch is not removed, Luoyang is impure, the man is uncertain. Although I, Cao Mengde, am white and have never held an official position, I still have a heart for the man. I only hope that the water of this man will be clear. I only hope that the eunuch will die on the street and give the emperor a pair." Eyes that can see the world clearly.”

Yuan Shao clearly saw that there was light in Cao Cao's eyes, an attitude of "I am the only one who knows everything".

He could see that the current Cao Cao was indeed bent on restoring the current Han Dynasty to its glory days.

only.Mengde, Mengde.

Now you have an innocent heart, wholeheartedly support the Han Dynasty, and want to be one of the people who can save the world, but you don't know that as time goes by slowly.

General Han Zhengxi can no longer satisfy your growing ambitions. Do you still remember the way you are now so strong and iron-clad that you are ready to overthrow the world at the slightest disagreement?
Yuan Shao didn't know, maybe it was possible or not. After all, Cao Cao's disappointment in the big man was heading towards the abyss step by step.

Cong Da Jian Tu was imprisoned.

After the failed assassination attempt on Zhang Rang, An Ran escaped over the wall.

From Jiao, the princes in the world raised troops to attack Dong.

After all kinds of failures, that passionate heart has gradually become cold.

When someone tells you that this big man has run out of strength, will you still stand up and refute him righteously?

"I was not expecting Meng De to be so arrogant, and I didn't expect Meng De to be so clear-cut with the eunuchs." Yuan Shao praised from the bottom of his heart.

Nowadays, eunuchs dominate the power. I don’t know how many people are licking their faces and having connections in order to get promoted and make a fortune, just to get a glimmer of favor from the eunuchs, and then get promoted in their official career.

When it comes to who has the closest relationship with eunuchs, Cao Mengde feels it is necessary to stand up. His ancestor Cao Teng was the first typical representative to be granted the title of eunuch, and his father Cao Song was obsessed with amassing money and paying tribute to the eunuch above him. , the Cao family has long been inseparable from the eunuch.

And this is the fact that Cao Cao has always been unwilling to admit.

But the scholars in the world will not understand the enthusiastic Cao Cao.

They would only sneer and then burst into laughter.

Cao Cao was well aware of this situation, so he went out of his way to win Yuan Shao's support.

If he had the support of the Yuan family's descendants, who were considered to be the most powerful among the scholars, Cao Cao was confident that he would be able to make those contemptuous families dumbfounded and completely overturn their prejudice against me, Cao Mengde.

And he also didn't expect that Yuan Shao, as a descendant of the Yuan family, would be so approachable. He didn't show any arrogance in his conversation. His treatment of others was impeccable, making people feel as comfortable as the spring breeze blowing.

Cao Cao also spent time with Yuan Shu.

I originally thought that all the children of the Yuan family were like Yuan Shu, who was overjoyed and had an aggressive attitude.

Yuan Shao really brought him a surprise.

As long as he can get Yuan Shao to come forward, then he will have won half the battle.

"I didn't expect that my brother's heart would be as powerful as the sun, moon, mountains and rivers compared to those vulgar scholars." Cao Cao felt inspired and wanted to write a poem immediately, but he didn't have enough experience to leave him alone.

"This big man can be saved after all."

Cao Mengde cried with joy, he was a passionate young man.

"Will Meng De also cry?"

Suddenly, a mocking voice came from behind him, attracting the attention of Yuan Shao and others.

The person who came was eight feet long. He was dressed in white and strode into the wind. The hem of his clothes was swaying in the wind. He had a sword at his waist and a wine gourd hanging on the sword.

Yuan Shao didn't know who the visitor was, but he had seen him on the side of the road at a funeral for his mother.

Cao Mengde wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked intently but didn't know.

"You two, are you going to the Moon Festival Review Party?"

　Please try your best to read the latest chapters. If there are any mistakes, please feel free to point them out. If there are any, you can correct them and encourage them. No one is perfect. I just want to reshape the Yuan Shao I understand in my heart.

　　Some readers said it was a bit slow to heat up, so I tried to increase the power as much as possible.

　　And now that the chaos has not broken out, the rhythm can only unfold little by little.

　　I hope you will support me a lot.
