Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Cai Yan had never thought that she, who had always been strict with herself according to the standards of a lady, would do such a shameless thing. She would actually throw herself into Cao Ang's arms in public.  Fortunately, there weren't many people around, and Cao Ang's arms were indeed as warm as she hoped!

    Although Cao Ang is only fourteen years old, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has kept up with his nutrition. Now his body shape is almost the same as that of an adult man. The seventeen-year-old Cai Yan does not look out of place in his arms.

    Cao Ang held her tightly in his arms, only to find that Cai Yan was already visibly thinner after not seeing her for a few days.  For some reason, Cao Ang suddenly felt a sense of responsibility, warmth, and even hidden joy.  He didn't ask any more questions, just whispered: "Let's go home! I will definitely hold a grand wedding for you. Mother will like you!"

    Cai Yan's eyes turned red and tears could not stop pouring out.

    Cao Ang's father, Cao Cao, was admired by the world alone. His grandfather, Cao Song, was also one of the three nobles. In addition, Cao Ang was a Fenwu general, and the emerging family of the Cao family has gradually taken shape.  At this time, as long as Cao Ang mentioned it, many aristocratic families would be willing to marry the Cao family.

    Although Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong, was trusted by Dong Zhuo, he also had a reputation as a rebellious official and traitor to some extent. Moreover, although Cai Yan got free from Li, he was still burdened with a stain. After getting Cao Ang's promise  Before, Cai Yan did not dare to expect the status of a head wife.

    Cai Yan couldn't help crying, Cao Ang patted her back gently and comforted her in a low voice.

    The few guards accompanying Cao Ang have already driven the people in the medicine shop aside.  Everyone is discerning and knows that this is a matter between nobles, and no one dares to look up.

    By the time Cai Yan stopped talking, guards were already driving a carriage to the medicine store.  That is to say, Anyi City has a lot of trade with nomadic tribes, and there is no shortage of horses in the city. On the contrary, farming cattle are very scarce as a strategic material, otherwise this carriage will definitely become the focus.

    Cao Ang helped Cai Yan and lifted Cai Qian into the carriage, then left surrounded by guards and disappeared into the streets and alleys of Anyi City.  After learning the news, the Wei family searched repeatedly but found nothing. Wei Jian sighed and had no choice but to give up. After all, Cai Yan was now free.

    Half a month later, Cao Ang and his party returned to Zhi County safely, and the letter describing the situation had been sent back to Qiao County long before they returned.

    After receiving the letter, Ms. Ding suddenly realized that no wonder she had written to Cao Ang many times before, asking to arrange a marriage for him, but Cao Ang always declined politely. It turned out that she already had a relationship in her heart.  I heard that Cai Yan was very handsome, gentle and gentle, and she was Cai Yan's eldest daughter. Her family background was not bad, but she left the house with Li after all, which was a problem.

    Ding didn¡¯t dare to make a rash decision, so she took Cao Ang¡¯s letter and went to Cao Song¡¯s house to see him and ask Cao Ang¡¯s grandfather, Cao Song, to make a decision.

    Cao Song smiled and said to Ding: "In a blink of an eye, Zixiu can talk about marriage. I'm really old. Judging from the meaning of Zixiu's letter, Cai Yan only exchanged wedding invitations with the Wei family. Although he was taken to An  The Yiwei family did not marry Wei Zhongdao, and they still retained their innocence, so their reputation was not a problem. Since Zixiu likes it, this marriage is feasible. Besides, Cai Yong is a famous scholar in the country, and our Cao family  Being lucky enough to be married to their family will also help improve our reputation.

    ¡°Well, you go write a letter to Zixiu and ask him to take Cai Yan home to get married.  Meng De's life and death are unknown, so Zixiu should get married as soon as possible to support the family.  This is the first wedding ceremony of the third generation of our Cao family, we can¡¯t let them be wronged!  "

    Ding agreed quickly, wrote a letter and sent someone to Hanoi County to inform Cao Ang of the good news.

    Cao Ang was overjoyed after receiving the letter and quickly handed the letter into Cai Yan's hands.  Cai Yan was reluctant to open it at first, because it was Cao Ang's family letter after all, but he couldn't help but be curious. After taking a closer look, he felt overjoyed, a stone fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but smile.

    Looking at Cai Yan with a smile on his face, Cao Ang also became happy. He smiled and said, "You rest here in the back house while I go to discuss with the generals to settle the military and political affairs of these four counties."

    Cai Yan nodded in agreement and whispered: "No need to rush, let's take our time."

    Cao Ang nodded in agreement, walked around to Cai Yan, hugged him gently, and then left quickly with a smile.  Cai Yan looked at the naughty Cao Ang and couldn't help but snicker: He is the master of the four counties, why is he still acting like a child

    Cao Ang returned to the lobby and ordered a meeting to be held.  Soon, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Li Su, Li Dian, Le Jin, Liao Hua and others came to the hall.

    Cao Ang currently has eleven generals under his command, including Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Li Qian, Li Su, Wei Zi, Xu Rong, Li Dian, Le Jin, Fang Yue, Liao Hua, and Shi Huan, but Li Qian is nowThey are working in the fields, Wei Zi is now in Wen County, Xu Rong is now in Qinshui, Fang Yue is now in Heyang, and Shi Huan is also in Chang'an and cannot come.

    Cao Ang smiled and said to the generals: "My mother just sent a letter saying that my grandfather has agreed to my marriage and asked me to take the time to go home and get married."

    Hearing this, all the generals stood up together, bowed to Cao Ang and said, "Congratulations, my lord, sir!"

    Cao Ang smiled and waved his hand, asking everyone to sit down, and then said in a deep voice: "Look, when is the best time for me to leave?"

    Xia Houyuan cupped his hands and said: "At present, everything is relatively stable everywhere, and it is not yet the busy autumn harvest period. Please rest assured, my lord."

    Cao Hong also handed over his hand and said: "Business with various places is normal, there is nothing abnormal. My lord is getting married, and I can allocate a lot of money and food here"

    Cao Ang smiled and waved his hand, "Everything must be done to satisfy the development of our four counties. Sufficient development funds must be set aside. Don't force it!"

    Cao Hong said with a smile: "Lord, don't worry, we have made a lot of profits during this period, and we are not forced at all."

    At this time, Li Su saluted Cao Ang and said in a deep voice: "It is the best time for my lord to leave Zhi County at this time.

    Wei Chen received news that Gongsun Zan had followed Yuan Shao's instigation and was attacking Jizhou, but Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was stupid and incompetent and was unable to resist.  Now Yuan Shao has raised troops and marched towards Jizhou in the name of supporting Han Fu!  Now Zhang Yang of Hanoi County is trying every means to search for supplies and provide logistical support to Yuan Shao's headquarters. It is said that the treasury has been completely emptied.

    Although the lord is relatively independent, in the eyes of the world, he is regarded as half of Yuan Shao's subordinates.  Now that Yuan Shao has raised an army, if the lord is still in Zhi County, he must provide food and supplies to Yuan Shao, and even send troops to help, to be considered morally worthy.  But in this way, we will only lose our strength in vain, but we will not gain much benefit.

    "If the lord leaves Zhi County and goes home to get married now, Yuan Shao and others, as elders, should also send people to congratulate him. It is not easy to bring up the matter of money and food. We just avoided the limelight!  "

    Cao Ang nodded lightly and was about to agree, but then he thought about it and shook his head.  I heard him whisper: "Wei Gong, what you said makes some sense, but in my opinion, it should be relatively easy for Yuan Shao to capture Jizhou, and there will be no major battles.

    Han Fu is timid by nature and lacks independent opinions. As long as Gongsun Zan's troops move south in a large scale and the lobbyists sent by Yuan Shao give Han Fu such advice, Han Fu may easily give up Jizhou to Yuan Shao!  By then, Yuan Shao's power will have greatly increased, and our previous shirk will be seen by him!  Facing a powerful neighbor like Yuan Shao, we will be in a worrying situation then!  It's better to give him a certain amount of support now. The icing on the cake is nothing compared to providing help in times of need!  "

    What Cao Ang said made perfect sense, and everyone nodded.  Li Su said with shame: "My lord is still very good and can think about the problem from the overall situation. The situation of Weichen is still not big enough! Weichen will discuss with the Lord Registrar to see how to allocate the grain and grass supplies."

    Cao Ang nodded and said with a smile: "You first sort out a gift list and send someone to send it to Yuan Shao quickly. The letter said more politely, we have to put ourselves in the position of subordinates to satisfy their vanity.  "

    Li Su agreed and immediately went to the side room with Cao Hong to discuss. After discussing for a while, everyone left.  At this time, Xia Houyuan walked up to Cao Ang and whispered: "My lord, I think Wei Gong is still loyal to you, but he is not very capable. You should find some more advisers."

    Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said: "Master, I only have the territory of four counties now, and I don't have Yuan Shao's official position. Which counselor will join me?"

    Xia Houyuan said in a low voice: "My lord, you must not belittle yourself. Meng De assassinated Dong alone and was admired by the world. You are also a Fenwu general and hold the territory of four counties in your hands. One person is short-term and everyone is long-term. We cannot recruit first-rate counselors."  , it would be nice to have a few more second-rate counselors! Anyway, you are going back to Qiao County in a while, I suggest you go to Yingchuan, there are many literati there!"

    Cao Ang nodded repeatedly: "What my uncle said is exactly what I want. I am about to go to the Sili area to discuss with Zhu Jun. During this time, we have sent more than a hundred dead soldiers to Chang'an, but there has been no definite news.  Shi Huan's report was too short and could not explain the situation in Chang'an clearly. I will see if there is any new news from Zhu Jun. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will rescue my father. After leaving Yin in Henan, I  Let¡¯s go to Yingchuan County along the Yingshui River to visit and see if we can recruit some counselors with real talents and knowledge.¡±

    Xia Houyuan nodded repeatedly, "Zixiu, as long as you have this intention, I heard that Xun Shu of Yingchuan is well-known in the world and is known as the Divine Lord. Xun Shu has eight sons, known as the Eight Dragons. I also ask my lord to visit patiently and see if I can recruit one of them.  A few people are here to assist you.¡±

    Cao Ang smiled and sighed, "I heard that Xun Chen is getting Yuan Shao's trust."?, many people in the Xun family regard Yuan Shao as the master of the Ming Dynasty, and there is little hope of leaving.  But it is always worth buying horse bones with thousands of dollars.  To be honest, I am full of expectations for my trip to Yingchuan.  "
