Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just after the New Year, Cao Cao took more than 20 capable servants to Luoyang and took up the post of captain of the Dian Army.  And Cao Ang was not idle. Knowing the direction of historical development, he knew that the emperor would die soon and the period of melee among the princes at the end of Han Dynasty would begin. He must start preparations in advance.

    The first thing Cao Ang had to do was to drive a nail into the county seat of Qiao County.  The last time Liu Quan launched an attack, if Cao Cao hadn't taken decisive action, the Cao family might have been dragged into the mud. Cao Ang didn't want to wait until he went to the battlefield in the future, and someone would quietly hold him back.

    Now that Yuan Ping is temporarily acting as the county magistrate, and his own county captain's position is temporarily vacant, and the county magistrate's position has been vacant for a long time, there are two good positions waiting for him in Qiao County.  Of course, Cao Ang is only ten years old now, no, he is already eleven years old. Although he is one year older, he is far from the age to be an official.  However, Cao Ang has two candidates, Xiahou Dun and Cao De.

    Xiahou Dun is not only one of his masters, but also a good friend of his father Cao Cao. If he is made a county captain, the defense of Qiao County will be under the control of the Cao family.

    And after his uncle Cao De was severely punished by his father Cao Cao, he finally changed his mind. In addition, Cao Ang rescued Cao Anmin and eased the relationship with them. At present, the relationship between Cao De and Cao Ang is not bad.  If Cao De is promoted to the position of county magistrate, with his cunning and the support of the Cao family, he will definitely be able to secure this position.

    And once Xiahou Dun takes office as county captain and Cao De takes office as county chief, Yuan Ping can only move closer to the Cao family to avoid being completely ignored by the Cao family.  At that time, the Cao family will firmly control Qiao County, no matter the wind and waves, it will be better than strolling in the garden.

    The more Cao Ang thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was not bad, so he immediately asked to see his grandfather to explain all his considerations.

    Cao Song laughed, took out a letter from his bag, handed it to Cao Ang, and said with a smile: "Zixiu, take a look!"

    Cao Ang received the letter and opened it. It turned out to be a reply from the governor of Yuzhou to Cao Song. The letter solemnly promised to hand over the positions of county captain and county magistrate in Qiao County to Cao Song.

    Cao Ang scratched his head: "It turns out that my grandfather had already made arrangements. I am really doing my best!"

    Cao Song smiled and said: "Zixiu, you are very good at thinking of grabbing these two positions. When your grandfather and I were eleven years old, I didn't know anything! By the way, your father said,  There have been signs of a resurgence of the Yellow Turban bandits recently, so let¡¯s train our servants to be in case of unexpected events, what do you think?¡±

    "Grandpa, I think what my father said is true. Don't mention anything else. There was a cult in the county a few days ago. There were more than 200 die-hard believers. If they raided our Cao family, we would have no defense at all. It is very likely that  We will suffer huge losses!" Cao Ang said in a low voice: "The cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone our Cao family. Now there is a mansion in the county, and this Cao family manor can also be regarded as a mansion, plus Heifeng Village, we  Only by selecting capable personnel, stationed in three locations, and responding to each other from afar can we truly be invincible!"

    Cao Song nodded, "Ang'er, you are right. After Xiahou Dun takes office, I plan to move our Cao family into the county. With the protection of the city wall and the protection of Xiahou Dun's soldiers, there should be no problem in terms of safety. As for  For this manor, just leave a few stewards to manage the farm, such as Lao Zhao. However, Heifeng Village is far away from our sight and has rock salt resources, so we need to find a reliable person to manage it!"

    Cao Ang smiled and cupped his hands, "Grandpa, what do you think of me?"

    "You?" Cao Song shook his head, "Ang'er, the living conditions in the village are too poor. You are growing up now, how can you suffer there?"

    "How can you enjoy the fragrance of plum blossoms without a bone-chilling cold?!" Cao Ang said loudly: "Grandpa, the world is not peaceful now. We must have the ability to protect ourselves. The terrain of Heifeng Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition,  It is also an important producing area of ??rock salt, our Cao family must pay attention to it, and me, my direct grandson, sitting there will undoubtedly stabilize everyone¡¯s emotions and make everyone realize the importance of it.¡±

    Seeing the persistence in Cao Ang¡¯s eyes, Cao Song smiled and nodded, whatever, just give him a chance to be his own man!

    So Cao Song said with a smile: "Ang'er, I will give you three months. I hope that within this period, all the major and minor matters of Heifeng Village will be settled. After three months, you have to return to Qiao County and follow  I¡¯m going to visit the prefectures and counties and get to know some useful and powerful people!¡±

    Cao Ang nodded repeatedly, very happy, said a few more words, and couldn't wait to run to Ding to tell her the good news.

    However, Mrs. Ding frowned after hearing this and shook her head repeatedly: "Ang'er, I'm not talking about you because of my mother. Where is the Black Wind Village? It's a remote country. It doesn't have anything. It blows most of the time in a year.  Gale! Although your grandfather agrees for you to go, I won't worry if you go alone, at leastI have to bring Xiaoyi and Xieer with me.  By the way, isn¡¯t Zixiao (Cao Ren) okay recently? You have to take him with you, at least his martial arts can protect you"

    Ding kept talking for more than half an hour, and Cao Ang kept listening with a smile. He found that it felt good to have someone thinking about him!

    One day later, Cao Ang took Cao Ren, Xiao Yi, Xie'er, and fifty capable servants to Heifeng Stronghold.

    By the time they reached the foot of Heifengzhai Mountain, Liao Hua and others on the mountain had already received the news and were waiting at the foot of the mountain in advance.

    As soon as he saw Cao Ang, Liao Hua immediately fell to the ground and said, "Liao, thank you so much for your great kindness. Without the master, it would be difficult for my mother to survive this winter!"

    Cao Ang quickly helped Liao Hua up and said with a smile: "Auntie's health has gotten better recently. I have too many things to do these days and haven't had time to visit. I will definitely visit your home when I go up the mountain. By the way, Yuanjian, I'm here.  At that time, I already told my grandfather that I would promote you to the position of steward of the outer courtyard and double your monthly salary. I heard that you are about to get engaged. How about it? Is there anything else you need my help with?"

    When Liao Hua heard this, he was deeply moved. He was just a small bandit leader in Heifeng Village, but he was so valued by Mr. Cao. He saved himself and his mother's life over and over again. Such a lord is really wearing a lantern.  Look everywhere!  So Liao Hua fell to the ground and said with a little choked up: "My lord has been so kind and kind, but Yuan Jian can't repay him! I'm willing to do whatever it takes to kill my lord!"

    Cao Ang was very happy after hearing this. He quickly helped him up and walked hand in hand to the stronghold.

    Liao Hua did not dare to stand side by side with Cao Ang. He took a big step back and stood behind Cao Ren.

    This retreat made Cao Ang nodded secretly. Only by knowing how to advance and retreat can we make greater progress.  Cao Ang no longer declined modestly, but strode ahead.

    At this time, everyone in the village heard the news of Cao Ang's arrival. They all stopped what they were doing and ran down to greet him.  However, the mountain roads were steep and new arrow towers were built in several relatively gentle places. The common people could only gather at the entrance of the village and kneel there to wait.

    Cao Ang nodded slightly as he walked.  The mountain village's defense facilities are much better than last time, and several archery towers are strategically placed to completely cover the mountain road.  If Du Yuan had such a plan last time, it would be difficult for the Cao family to get involved quietly, let alone pay such a small price.

    When he climbed up to the mountain stronghold, he saw so many people kneeling on the ground to greet him. Cao Ang quickly clasped his hands and said loudly: "Folks, the ground is cold, get up quickly!"

    Cao Ang repeated this several times, and then the old men at the front stood up shakily, leaning on wooden sticks.  One of them said loudly: "Young Master, if it weren't for the food you provided, many of us would have starved to death this winter! You saved our lives and helped us save a life from that demon Du Yuan.  It¡¯s also right for us to kneel down and kowtow to you!¡±

    As he spoke, the man was about to continue kneeling. Cao Ang quickly stepped forward to help him, "Old man, since everyone trusts me, Cao Ang, and stayed in this Black Wind Stronghold, how can I ignore it? How can we live in the future?  It will get better and better, not only will I be full, but I will also be able to eat well!¡±

    "That's great!" The old man smiled, his goatee raised happily.

    Cao Ang held his hand and walked towards the stronghold.  This old man, on the surface, is a refugee who was taken in by the village not long ago, but in fact he is a member of the Cao family. He was sent here deliberately to do detailed work and quietly understand the various situations in the village.  It's just that Liao Hua and the others were inexperienced, so they really regarded their family as refugees.

    When Cao Ang entered the village, he stood on a high place and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I want to stay with you for a while when I go to the mountain this time. I have nothing to bring with me. I brought some thick fabrics from home.  , I will distribute them door to door in a while, it can be regarded as a New Year gift!"

    "Thank you, young master!" The people all knelt on the ground.

    Cao Ang quickly raised his hand to invite everyone to stand up, and said loudly again: "From today on, I will live with everyone. I think my temper is okay, as long as you abide by the rules, do things honestly, and be serious.  If you work hard, you will get my approval!

    Everyone knows Liao Hua. Despite his young age, he has now been appointed by me as the steward of the outer courtyard, with a monthly salary of five guan!  When he grows up in the future, our Cao family will marry him and help him build a house!  Folks, as long as you work seriously, some of you can get this treatment!  The mountain wind is too strong now, so everyone should disperse. We will have plenty of opportunities to chat together in the future!  "

    Being encouraged by Cao Ang, the people were really excited. They saluted Cao Ang and then walked together to the cave or thatched shed where they lived, talking non-stop while walking.

     Cao Ang smiled slightly and said to Liao Hua: "I heard that it was you and Zixiang (Cao Duan's words, provided by book friend ¡ÚYun Tianqing¡Û) during this period. Let's do this. You two will come to the hall and report to me later.  Please bring the roster here by the way, and let¡¯s discuss the future development of Shanzhai"
