The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 4 Cao Cao's second appointment
"Why does Bo Jie have to do this? Could it be that there is something hidden? You and I have a lot of friendship, but do you say anything?"

Wei Hong is also a sensible person, he couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw this.

"Hehe...it's not indescribable. The old man once had a marriage contract with the Hedong Wei family, but today it's unspeakable. Sigh..."

"Hedong Wei's family? Hmph!"

Hearing Cai Yong's words, Wei Hong immediately let out a cold snort, but there was a hint of contempt for Hedong Wei's family in his words.

During the day, Wei Tao never heard his father mention the Hedong Wei family.

But as soon as I miss Wei Tao, I think of it. Isn't Cai Yan's husband Wei Zhongdao from Hedong Wei's family?
According to history, Wei Zhongdao died less than a year after Cai Yan married Wei Zhongdao, and the Wei family members drove Cai Yan back to her natal family.

Such a snobbish person, seeing that Cai Yong is demoted and exiled, naturally he does not want to get married anymore.

Wei Tao knew that Cai Yong would not be able to truly recover until Dong Zhuo came to power.

"The teacher is highly talented and well-known in the world, but he is not treated with such courtesy. It is really a sigh."

At this time, Cao Cao also spoke.

"I can only escort the teacher back to his hometown, and I will let him go in a few days."

At this time, Wei Tao also remembered that Cai Yong was also from Chenliu, no wonder his father knew Cai Yong so well.

"Why does Bo Jie do this? It's nothing more than the short-sightedness of the Hedong Wei family. If Bo Jie doesn't think my son is vulgar, I, Chen Liuwei, would like to marry Bo Jie."

Wei Tao never expected that at this moment, Wei Hong suddenly pointed at Wei Tao.

"Although my child is stubborn and can't be cultivated, he also has his own ambitions. If Bo Chi doesn't give up, I would like to marry Qin and Jin!"

Wei Tao never imagined that Wei Hong would point out a marriage for himself, and the person was Cai Wenji, who was a celebrity through the ages.

Hearing this, Cai Yong was very hesitant and didn't reply for a while.

If Cai Yong really refuses, he will immediately reject it, such hesitation is naturally out of his heart.

"Teacher, let me just say this. Brother Wei is also very talented, and Uncle Wei Shi is a sensible person. It would be better if this alliance is made."

At this time, Cao Cao also laughed and said.

"The old man already has something to say, it's really hard to disobey."

Cai Yong sighed, seeing Cai Yong like this, naturally Wei Hong would not speak again.

"Teacher's remark is absurd. Although the teacher intends, the Wei family has not responded. There has never been an oath, so it is not a backstory."

But at this time Cao Cao said with a smile again.

"Isn't the teacher just worried about Ms. Cai, so you can let her stay in Wei's house? Wouldn't it be great to travel around like this?"

"Oh?"

At this moment, Wei Hong heard something different.

"Brother Wei, in fact, some time ago, His Majesty pardoned me. It's a pity that I offended the eunuch unintentionally, but now I dare not stay at home for a long time. This is why the Hedong Wei family is hesitant. "

Cai Yong sighed and said.

"The ten permanent attendants are cruel and cruel. If I stay here, I'm afraid it will be a blessing, but I don't want to leave with my family to avoid disaster."

Hearing this, Wei Tao finally understood why Cai Yong was from Chenliu, but instead stayed in his own home.

Wei Hong understood even more that the Hedong Wei family and Chen Liuwei's family were of the same origin, and Wei Hong naturally knew the strength of the other party, so he understood what the other party was worried about.

"Brother Wei's good intentions, I understand, but let's not talk about such things again, lest it will hurt Brother Wei."

Cai Yong's words were originally well intentioned, but when he said this, Wei Hong immediately felt a sense of comparison in his heart.

"What about Quan Eunuch? My family of the Wei family is a distinguished family, so are you still afraid that Quan Eunuch will fail? This property right is for the time being, and I think it will be ordered!"

The leader took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it directly to Cai Yan.

After all, Cai Yan is only a two- or three-year-old child, and the leader just grabs him and plays with him.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Cai Yong is naturally not good at refusing, he just laments Wei Hong's carelessness in his heart.

Now that the marriage has been settled, Cai Yong is naturally willing to entrust Cai Yan to the Wei family, and even stay in the Wei family for a few more days before leaving.

When Cai Yong left, Wei Tao was also preparing to leave with Cao Cao for Qiao County.

"Meng De, this son is stubborn, please control him more."

While Wei Hong was speaking, he ordered someone to hold a plate of gold and silver.

"This is for Tao'er to study, I hope Meng Demo will refuse."

The Wei family is rich, so the gold and silver are naturally nothing to worry about. Although the Cao family is also a local wealthy family, their wealth is not comparable to that of the Wei family, so Cao Cao did not refuse and accepted it directly.

In fact, Chen Liu and Qiao County were not far away, and with the horses, it didn't take much time, but before Wei Tao was young, although he had learned spear skills, he had never practiced riding skills.

Fortunately, the trip was not in a hurry, and Wei Hong had already prepared a docile pony for Wei Tao, which allowed Wei Tao to exercise his riding skills while walking.

It was only at this time that Wei Tao discovered that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the stirrup was indeed one-sided, but it was not easy to use it immediately, and there was no such thing as a horseshoe.

But Wei Tao didn't say anything immediately. After all, Cao Cao is not a hero now. Although these two things are helpful, they are not very big.

Rather than saying it now, it is better to keep it for close capital in the future.

After a few days to Deqiao County, Wei Tao's riding skills are somewhat decent. Although he can't ride fast, he has been fine while riding.

"Come! Come! Brother Wei, these two are my brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Zixiao, Cao Hong, and Zilian."

As soon as he arrived in Qiao County, Cao Cao introduced Wei Tao.

"These two are brothers from my clan. They are brave, powerful, and resourceful. Zi Xiao and Zi Lian, these are brothers from the Wei family. They are named Tao, and they are also my little brothers. They are now studying martial arts and writing with me. You two should be taken care of."

Naturally, Wei Tao knew that these two people would be close confidants of Cao Cao in the future, so he immediately went to see him.

"I have met the two brothers, and I will ask the two brothers to give me good advice in the future."

"Haha... Brother Tao is being polite, we will cover everything we need to learn! We will definitely teach you everything!"

Cao Ren and Cao Hong had always admired Cao Cao, but now that they heard that Cao Cao admired Wei Tao so much, they naturally dare not neglect them.

"It's a pity that Yuan Rang and Miao Cai are not here. Otherwise, with the two of them, we can give more advice."

At this moment, Cao Cao sighed again, and then spoke for Wei Tao.

It turned out that at this time, Xiahou Dun fled abroad because someone insulted his teacher and killed him in anger. At that time, Xiahouyuan also followed him, so they were not in Qiao County.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, and Xiahouyuan were all the arms of Cao Cao's army. Hearing Cao Cao's casual words, Wei Tao could only sigh secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a genius of heaven.

In this way, Wei Tao stayed with Cao Cao in Qiao County and practiced martial arts with everyone every day.

This time, with the guidance of Cao Cao and others, and more importantly, their daily training, Wei Tao's martial arts improved a lot faster.

If it's just the improvement of martial arts, that's all.

What Wei Tao paid more attention to was Cao Cao's lectures on the art of war, and Wei Tao gained a lot every time.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. During this year, Wei Tao and the members of the Cao family have become as close as brothers. In their spare time, they recite military books and strategies, or go hunting on horseback.

On this day, however, a group of people quietly came to Qiao County.

At this time, just when everyone came back from hunting, this time Wei Tao's harvest was good, although the horsepower may not be as high as the others, but he shot five rabbits in a row, which is the most harvested today.

"Brother Wei, what luck!"

Cao Ren shook his head, he was the only one who had nothing to gain today.

"Haha, I'll share with myself later."

Cao Hong laughed out loud, Cao Ren and Cao Hong always competed with each other, but today it was Cao Hong who came out on top, naturally he was overjoyed.

"How can this be luck? In a few years, you may not be his opponents anymore, but you still have to work hard."

Cao Cao also smiled naturally.

Just at this time, someone flew to report. It turned out that the person who came today was an envoy of the imperial court. This is the report, so that Cao Cao and others should return quickly.

"According to His Majesty's will, Cao Cao's alias Meng De is now recruited as Yilang, and he will accompany you as a servant!"

As soon as he came back, he was immediately greeted by the incense table, but he didn't expect that it was Cao Cao's will to be recruited.

"The minister accepts the order."

Cao Cao didn't hesitate and just agreed.

Wei Tao also knew this year, in fact, before Cao Cao gave up his official position and went home, most of them were left idle because of eunuchs.

Although Cao Cao did have the heart to serve the country, but he couldn't bear this idleness, so he was reclusive.

It's a pity that Cao Cao was never that kind of hermit. He had the ambition to serve the country with all his strength. Now that the imperial court wanted to recruit him, Cao Cao was naturally planning to go to Luoyang again.

"Brother, if you want to go to Luoyang, you can go there, but we can't stand such a bird."

Both Cao Ren and Cao Hong are capable, but they are unwilling to accompany them at this time.

"The imperial court is full of eunuchs, but my brothers and I don't want to be scolded at will!"

They are all their own brothers, so they all responded directly, and Cao Cao couldn't force it.

"Brother, I haven't fully grasped the military tactics that I learned from you a while ago. Although I'm not good at it, it's not a problem to help with some affairs. If you don't mind, how about letting me be by your side?" ?”

Wei Tao is different. Not to mention that Cao Cao has treated him like a brother this year, Wei Tao, who only knows the direction of history, is not the kind of person who can live in peace.

"I don't ask for anything extravagantly, just let me be the elder brother for a long time."

"it is good!"

Cao Cao was also very happy to have Wei Tao by his side, and immediately agreed.

"You and I, brothers, are of one heart, and we must make a career in my big man!"

As soon as this remark came out, it can be seen that Cao Cao's ambition, a year of idleness, really made Cao Cao very uncomfortable. Could it be that he knew that the political situation in the court was mostly controlled by eunuchs at this time, but Cao Cao also went resolutely.
