    The fact that Wei Zi was known by Cao Ang and other people in Qiao County was actually due to Vincent who died young.  In the past, when talking about Vincent, everyone said that he was as famous as Wei Zi and that he was a famous rich man in the Chenliu generation.  After talking for a long time, I also remembered Wei Zi¡¯s name.  Therefore, when Cao Ang said Wei Zi's name, Xia Houyuan couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, Wei Zi's family is very wealthy. With him funding us, we don't have to worry about military expenses. But we have never been friends with him. Can we get him?"  Where are the funds?¡±

    Cao Ang had regained his composure at this time and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, don't worry. My grandfather had some dealings with Navez not long ago because of the sales agent issue of refined salt. This time I came to Chenliu, and I brought my grandfather's autographed letter."  , preparing to meet with Wei Zi and strengthen business contacts. I heard that Wei Zi is very knowledgeable and extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty, so my nephew should be able to fool him! "

    "Fooling?" Xia Houyuan asked in surprise.

    Cao Ang quickly scratched his head, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue! By the way, uncle, this Qiao Mao was once the governor of Yanzhou and is now the prefect of Dongjun. If we come rashly, maybe he will hide behind closed doors. Please also ask the master to send someone home.  Get me a handwritten letter from my grandfather."

    Xia Houyuan shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Zixiu, it seems that you still don't understand the principle of obeying authority in urgent matters. Don't you have your grandfather's autographed letter in your hand? Compare it to writing one yourself.  Well, as for the seal, it will only be used once anyway, just find a carrot and carve it. I said that when your father and others were skipping school together, I often did this"

    Cao Ang was speechless. Xia Houyuan also realized that he had let something slip. He laughed sarcastically and stopped talking.

    The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Cao Ang pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "Master, let's divide the troops into two groups. I will go to Weizi's house to visit, hoping to persuade him to help; Master, you go and explain the current situation to the soldiers.  situation, let everyone understand our current situation. If you are willing to follow us to resist the tyrants, then the salary will be doubled next month. Anyway, it is the Chinese New Year, which can be regarded as a little kindness from my family; and the soldiers are not willing to take risks, we will not force it  I want to stay, but wages have been tight recently, so I hope they will agree to let us default on the payment for a few days, and we can make up for it when we have enough money."

    Xia Houyuan nodded, this is also a good idea.  They say that being a soldier means you get food. Isn¡¯t that what everyone wants to be a soldier for?  Rather than being delayed in payment, it is better to earn double the payment!  What's more, many people's relatives are working in the Cao family's fields, which really can't take away this face.  In this way, even if someone leaves, the number of people will be significantly reduced.

    Seeing that Xia Houyuan agreed, Cao Ang left Xiao Yi behind and asked him to find someone to imitate the seal. He took Liao Hua and five other guards to Chenliu to meet Wei Zi.

    Of course, before the visit, Cao Ang went to the market to pick out some gifts. After all, this was his first visit, so how could he be empty-handed.

    Soon, Cao Ang led the people to make the purchases, carried the gifts and came to the door of Weizi, explained the purpose of his visit to the guests, and handed over the greeting cards.

    Soon the middle door opened wide, and one of them strode out with a round face and chubby body, smiling without saying a word.  However, at this time, the man's face was tense, and he strode up to Cao Ang, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Liu, Xiaolian Weizi Xu, has seen the orphan of Cao Gong, the righteous man who assassinated Dong Zhuo and became famous all over the world!"

    Cao Ang bowed and returned the salute: "Cao Zixiu has met Uncle Wei. My father once told me about my uncle before his death. He said that you were kind and charitable, and promoted filial piety and integrity with your benevolence and filial piety. He told me to learn more from my uncle!"

    Wei Zi was overjoyed: "Does Mr. Cao know me too? I am really lucky in this life! Zixiu, please!"

    Cao Ang said quickly: "Uncle, please!"

    So the two of them entered the mansion together, with Cao Ang slightly behind.  After entering the house, the guests were seated.

    Wei Zi leaned over and said: "I just received the news a few days ago that Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was killed by Lu Bu. Alas, the success fell short! But even so, Cao Cao's righteous deeds are known to the world, which is really admirable!"

    Cao Ang stood up quickly, returned to Wei Zi and said: "Now the Han Dynasty has no owner, Dong Zhuo is monopolizing power, bullying the emperor and harming the people, and the world is in disgrace. My father fought hard, only regretting that his strength was not enough, and he died generously! Now Dong Zhuo is arrogant and posts famous posts everywhere.  I am so angry to humiliate my father and bear the hatred of my family and the country! I heard that Duke Wei is a loyal and righteous man, so I came to ask for help shamelessly!"

    Wei Zi did not shirk, but held up his hands and said: "Now that there is chaos in the world, it cannot be quelled without soldiers; Dong's thieves are raging in the court, and there is no way to control them without soldiers! Now Cao Gong has the hope of the world. Although he sacrificed his life generously, he was not loyal in the name of justice.  But it resounded throughout the universe. As long as Zixiu raises the flag of righteousness, the brave men of the world will join in enthusiastic support. I have long had the idea of ????raising an army to attack Dong, but I only regret that I have not met a hero.?Since Zixiu has such great ambitions, I am willing to sell my property to help him!  "

    Cao Ang stood up, saluted Wei Zi, and said respectfully: "Although Ang is not talented, he is willing to shoulder the responsibility for the battlefield expedition. As for the logistics supply, I hope that my uncle will join hands with my uncle Lian, and we will help the country together!"

    Wei Zi returned the salute and said loudly: "So, my son Xu is very lucky. Since he has surrendered to the general, the general can talk to me as an equal and call me his son Xu. Brother Zixiu, I heard that Dongjun Prefect Qiao  Mao came to Chenliu recently and hopes that Brother Zixiu will discuss raising an army with him to build up his momentum!"

    Cao Ang nodded and said in a deep voice: "I have exactly the same idea, but I don't have an official position yet, so it would be a little inappropriate to come here rashly!"

    Wei Zi shook his head, "Zixiu, please don't belittle yourself. Your father's reputation for loyalty is resounding throughout the world. Everyone respects him very much, and they will also respect you, the orphan of a martyr. As long as you come to see me, Mr. Qiao will definitely do it."  Welcome at the central door!

    As for your official position, you have nothing to worry about. If nothing else, there is still a quota for filial piety and integrity in Yuzhou this year.  If you, the orphan of a martyr, can't promote filial piety and integrity, who in the world will believe you?  !  After you have promoted filial piety and integrity, if you take the lead in launching a rebellion, the princes will definitely grant you an official position to strengthen your career!  "

    Cao Ang stood up and said loudly: "The rise of the army begins now! You will be the first to help the country!"

    Wei Zi laughed and said, "Thank you for your promotion. If it is beneficial to the country, I will die without regrets!"

    The two met and laughed!

    In the afternoon, under the guidance of Xia Houyuan, a fresh letter written by Cao Song to Qiao Mao was released, and the seal on it was also made vividly.

    With this letter in hand, Cao Ang took Liao Hua to Qiao Mao's residence to meet him.  If, as Wei Zi expected, he saw Cao Ang's name card, Qiao Mao immediately ordered the middle door to be opened to welcome Cao Ang.

    Of course, Qiao Mao maintained his identity and did not go out to greet him. Instead, he stood at the door of the living room, waiting for Cao Ang to pay his respects.

    After Cao Ang saluted, Qiao Mao immediately helped Cao Ang up and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so old. I hugged you when you were a child! I also heard about Meng De. He is really a hero and a man.  , I, Qiao Mao, am so ashamed! When Mengde was elected as the prefect of Dongjun, he refused to take up the post. I, Qiao Mao, was eager to do things for the people, so I took his position. I am really ashamed!"

    Cao Ang quickly said: "Uncle, don't blame yourself. When my father was elected as the governor of Dongjun, it was nothing more than the overt promotion and covert promotion of my father by the regular servants. It was a conspiracy of Yan Huan! Since my uncle took office, he has renovated roads,  The herdsmen make a living and have an excellent official reputation. My father also said last year that if he takes this position, he may not be as good as his uncle!"

    Qiao Mao laughed, feeling very proud in his heart: "It was Mengde who promoted me! When my father was still alive, he once said to me, 'Now that the world is about to be in chaos, the one who can bring peace to the people must be Mengde'! Brother Mengde is loyal and upright.  , who had a heart for the country, was now killed by Lu Bu Xiaoxiao, the sky has no eyes!"

    Qiao Mao's father was Qiao Xuan, who had served as a Taiwei.  After hearing Qiao Mao relaying his father's evaluation of Cao Cao, Cao Ang stood up straight and acted as if he was all ears.

    When Qiao Mao finished speaking, Cao Ang choked up and said, "My father once said to me during his lifetime: 'The former Taiwei Qiao Gong is a man of high virtue and great love. The country cares about the country and its teachings, and the soldiers think about their orders'"

    Hearing that Cao Cao had such high regard for his father Qiao Xuan, Qiao Mao was very happy. Regardless of his dignity, he personally led Cao Ang in and sat in the center of the hall.

    After hearing Cao Ang say that he wanted to launch an army to attack Dong Zhuo, Qiao Mao nodded repeatedly, clapped his hands and praised: "I also have this idea. Not long ago, Yuan Benchu ??sent someone to contact me and also mentioned this matter. It seems that there are heroes in the world.  , are all interested in this! Zixiu, if you need anything, tell your uncle. Whether it¡¯s armor, equipment, or soldiers, even though my uncle is not talented, he can still provide you with something."

    Cao Ang shook his head slightly and looked around.  Qiao Mao understood what he meant. Although he laughed at him for being too cautious, he still ordered his attendants to step back.

    Cao Ang then said: "After learning the news of my father's heroic death, I have sent people on flying horses to inform my grandfather, sell off the property, and recruit heroes. And in the morning, I had a good discussion with Wei Zi Xu, and he has decided to join the army.  My subordinate. In the short term, the food and grass issue is not a worry. But now there is a more important matter. In the entire Chenliu, Dongjun, and even the entire Yuzhou, you are the only one qualified to handle this matter, so I came here to ask for your help!  "

    Hearing what Cao Ang said, Qiao Mao became more interested and quickly urged Cao Ang to explain it carefully.

    Cao Ang then said: "Although the heroes from all over the country are preparing to raise troops, it is not convenient because the name is not right and the words are not right. My uncle is the governor of Dongjun and has inextricable connections with the officialdom of Luoyang. If my uncle can pretend to be the three princes to move the letter,  It was reported to Yizhou County that Dong Zhuo was guilty and that the emperor was in danger. They hoped for righteous soldiers to relieve the national calamity. Then the world wouldThe heroes all have a legitimate reason to raise armies!  The world is so lucky, and the country is so lucky!  "

    Hearing what Cao Ang said, Qiao Mao frowned at first, then thought nervously, looked at Cao Ang's sincere eyes, and finally made up his mind.  I heard him say in a deep voice: "Meng De dared to assassinate Dong alone and died generously. I, Qiao Yuanwei, am also willing to imitate his feat and help the country. Although it is not too kind to pretend to be the Three Lords to move the book, but it is urgent to obey the authority. This  Just leave it to me!"

    Cao Ang stood up and saluted respectfully: "If you can help the country, the first contribution will be made by Qiao Gong!"
