    The afternoon sun shines warmly on my body, and the gentle breeze blows me very comfortably.  Cao Ang was sitting on a war horse, and there was no need to raise his whip at all. A well-tamed war horse would keep up with the pace of the brigade on its own.  He closed his eyes slightly, as if falling asleep.

    However, Cao Ang did not rest, but was thinking quietly.

    When I met Zhu Jun a few days ago, he told me that Zhu Jun had quietly sent more than 300 dead soldiers to Chang'an City. Together with Shi Huan and others sent by Cao Ang, Huang Wan now had five people in his hands.  Hundreds of trusted soldiers and horses.  Although these people are still insufficient compared to the Xiliang army, if used at a favorable opportunity, they can still influence the overall situation.

    However, Cao Ang pretended to be mysterious and whispered to Zhu Jun: "Before my father was arrested, he wrote a secret letter saying that although Wang Yun was attached to Dong Zhuo, he was acting hypocritically and not sincerely surrendering. Not long ago, I sent someone to get Wang Yun's support.  Contact us, he is thinking of ways to deal with Dong Zhuo!"

    Zhu Jun asked in surprise: "Is this Wang Yun reliable? The news I received said that he is loyal to Dong Zhuo. Not long ago, Dong Zhuo had officially issued an order to confer Wang Yun as Marquis of Wen, with a settlement of 5,000 households!"

    Cao Ang didn't know that Wang Yun had also been named Marquis Wen. Looking at Zhu Jun's confused look, Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "My father highly praised Wang Yun and said that he was slandering his reputation in order to find a way to eradicate Dong Zhuo.  I have great faith in my father¡¯s judgment, and I am willing to guarantee Wang Yun¡¯s loyalty with my life and fortune!¡±

    Seeing Cao Ang's insistence, Zhu Jun sighed: "Meng De is famous all over the world for his loyalty and righteousness. Since you are willing to vouch for him, I also believe in Wang Yun's loyalty. I will write a letter to Shisun Rui and ask him to send someone to communicate with Wang Yun."  Contact. In this way, even if the scholar Sun Rui is exposed, it will not affect the overall situation!"

    The two discussed the alliance again, and Zhu Jun also presented a wedding gift to Cao Ang and said with a smile: "When my nephew gets married in a few days, I will definitely not have time to go and congratulate him. There are ten pairs of jade stones here.  I wish the virtuous couple a hundred years of happy marriage!"

    Cao Ang quickly bowed to thank him and put the gift away with a smile.  After the two chatted for a while, Zhu Jun said goodbye and left.

    Cao Ang frowned slightly: This Zhu Jun is a good old man, I really can't bear to trick him.  However, this good old man also had a plan. He sent Shi Huan and others to sneak into Chang'an, just to rescue his father Cao Cao.  However, Huang Wan gathered them in the military camp and strictly ordered them not to go out. Zhu Jun also secretly blocked the news, hoping to keep Cao Ang from knowing about it.  If Cao Ang hadn't secretly sent Xizuo to Chang'an, he would still be kept in the dark.

    Cao Ang thought of this and ordered in a low voice: "Record, top secret, recipient Shi Huan!"

    After hearing his order, the scribe immediately took out a volume of silk book and waited for Cao Ang's order with a thin pen.

    I heard Cao Ang whisper: "Recently there is news that Wang Yunzheng is trying his best to win over Lu Bu and try to assassinate Dong Zhuo. And Zhu Jun just revealed that Shi Sunrui has also joined the anti-Dong alliance. You are alone in Chang'an and cannot guide you from the rear. I hope  You take safety as a prerequisite and rescue Cao Cao as your first priority. As for the anti-Director matter, Wang Yun is already certain, so you don¡¯t need to be overly involved!"

    Cold sweat broke out on the scribe's head, but he didn't dare to wipe it off at all. He just wrote nervously.  Soon, the scribe dried the ink and handed it to Cao Ang.

    Cao Ang took the letter and took a quick look at it. He took out his seal from his arms, breathed hard, and stamped it on the silk book.  He stood up and handed the silk book to his trusted guard. Soon someone in disguise quietly left the convoy and sneaked towards Chang'an.  I believe that Shi Huan and the others will receive the news soon.

    While Cao Ang was thinking about it, someone suddenly came on horseback and said quickly: "Lord, a convoy has appeared in front of you!"

    Cao Ang opened his eyes suddenly. The convoy was about to enter Yingchuan. Although there were no large groups of bandits in Yingchuan, they should not be careless.  He immediately said in a deep voice: "Immediately send out scouts to find out the opponent's identity. As for our convoy, immediately form a ring defense formation."

    At this time, Li Dian also rode up and said to Cao Ang: "My lord, I have sent out scouts, and news will come soon. Please retreat with your mistress immediately to avoid any accidents."

    Cao Ang smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "Our two hundred elite soldiers are all warriors who crawled out of the dead. In this land of the Central Plains, no one can let us take a step back!"

    When Cao Ang said this, the morale of the nearby soldiers was shaken, and most of the nervous expressions on their faces disappeared.  Soon, the soldiers formed a circular defensive formation, surrounding Cai Yan's carriage and several carriages full of food supplies in the center.

    Not long after Cao Ang and Li Dian waited, a scout came over and reported that the convoy on the opposite side was the carriages and horses of the Xun Yu family.  Cao Ang was very surprised and left Li Dian behind, while he rode forward with more than ten cavalrymen.

    It wasn¡¯t until the scouts came forward to question that Xun Yu¡¯s private soldiers discovered thatThe high-spirited convoy was suddenly shocked and became a mess.  After learning that the convoy of General Cao Ang was on the opposite side, Xun Yu's family finally relaxed and stopped running around.

    Xun Yu looked at his disgraced men, and then at Cao Ang's troops in an orderly formation in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.  He quickly ordered people to drive the bullock cart forward to greet Cao Ang.

    Before Xun Yu¡¯s ox cart had gone far, Cao Ang had already galloped in front of him. He dismounted respectfully and bowed to say hello: "The person opposite is Mr. Wen Ruo. I have met Mr. Cao Ang, the last general."

    Xun Yu quickly ordered the ox cart to stop, got out of the car and said, "I don't dare to accept such a courtesy from the general. Get up quickly. I am Xun Yu who has met General Cao."

    The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and then Cao Ang asked in surprise: "I was about to go to Yingchuan to see my husband, but I didn't expect that my husband is going to travel far away. Now the world is not peaceful, and it is not suitable to travel far, but I don't know where my husband is going.  ?¡±

    Xun Yu sighed and said to Cao Ang: "Previously when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, I abandoned my post and returned home. I always wanted to find something to do. A few days ago, Han Jizhou (Han Fu) sent someone to invite me to help. I also wanted to help the great Han Dynasty.  If you have some strength, why don't you take your family and relatives to Jizhou to join him?"

    Cao Ang smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wen Ruo, you don't have to hide it from me. Now that Dong Zhuo is stealing the government, the princes everywhere have lost their restraints and disputes are brewing. Yingchuan is the place of the Four Wars. It is understandable that Mr. Wen Ruo will leave with his relatives."

    As soon as these words came out, Xun Yu was shocked. He looked at Cao Ang in disbelief after having his heart revealed.  It turns out that this is what Xun Yu said to his fellow villagers not long ago: "Yingchuan is the place where the Four Wars were fought. The world is changing, and there are often wars. It is best to go there immediately and not stay for a long time." At this time, Han Fu sent someone  Xun Yu accepted the invitation and moved to Jizhou with his family members.

    Seeing Xun Yu's face change slightly, Cao Ang understood. He smiled and said to Xun Yu: "Sir, you may not know yet, but now Gongsun Zan is leading the army southward, beating the Jizhou army back again and again. But Benchu's uncle has already raised troops to go north, preparing to resist.  Gongsun Zan invaded the south and at the same time took control of the military and political power in Jizhou. In my opinion, Mr. Wenruo might as well let your relatives rest at my place for a while, and wait until the situation stabilizes before leaving."

    Xun Yu really didn¡¯t know these things. After hearing what Cao Ang said, he began to think nervously.  In fact, he and Han Fu were just fellow villagers in the same county, and their friendship was not too deep.  Even if Han Fu steps down, Xun Yu will not feel sorry for him.  And his brother Xun Chen is now under Yuan Shao's command and is trusted by Yuan Shao; Xin Ping and Guo Tu, who studied in the same county, are also Yuan Shao's capable advisers. If Yuan Shao obtains the military and political power in Jizhou, it will be a good thing for him.

    Xun Yu then smiled and said: "That's very good. I heard that Zixiu and Benchu ??had an irreversible friendship, so we're going to bother you. Wen Ruo is not talented, but he has an old relationship with Yuan Benchu. Brother Benchu ??went north to fight against the enemy, and my friend also  We should do our best to counsel military aircraft for him."

    Cao Ang couldn't help but frown slightly. After hearing the meaning of Xun Yu's words, he was still planning to go north to join Yuan Shao. He would just send his relatives and family members to Zhi County temporarily, and then move them away when the situation stabilizes in the future.

    Alas, after all, it is because I am too young, have a low official position, and have limited territory, that I have no capital to attract the other party.  If his father Cao Cao were here, Xun Yu might have bowed his head and bowed down long ago.

    Cao Ang sighed softly, but he also wanted to have a good relationship with Xun Yu, so he smiled and said: "I originally wanted to look for some talents in Yingchuan, but I didn't expect that sir, he wanted to go north. The falling flowers are ruthless. Let's do it.  Leave a dozen guards behind and let them lead you to continue walking. They are familiar with the road and can also provide you with some help."

    Xun Yu was overjoyed. When he heard what Cao Ang said before, he thought that Cao Ang wanted to keep him by force. Now it seems that Cao Ang is reasonable.  It's just that he is too young and his territory is limited, so he probably won't be able to develop much in the future.

    Seeing the frustration written on Cao Ang's face, Xun Yu quickly saluted and thanked Cao Ang, and then said: "I can also feel General Cao's affection, but after all, a certain person has an old relationship with Benchu, and I can't bear to leave him. In this way, I  There is a friend from the same county named Xi Zhicai. He is proficient in all kinds of literature, Taoism and military strategy. But he comes from a poor family and has never been able to get opportunities, so his life is quite difficult. If the general is interested, you can go to Yingyin to see him, and you should be able to learn something.  reward."

    "Xi Zhicai?" Cao Ang repeated in surprise. Most of the names of people in the Three Kingdoms are single characters, and few people use double characters to give names.

    Perhaps sensing Cao Ang's doubts, Xun Yu whispered: "In the early years, his old father was critically ill and wanted to eat a piece of beef and mutton before he died. But Xi Zhicai's family was poor and could not afford to buy even a small bite of meat. In order to provide  His father had spent all his savings on medical treatment and could not borrow a penny, so he had no choice but to rob in the street. Later, his father died with a smile on his face, and Xi Zhicai went to the government to surrender. Although he was exempted from punishment because of his filial piety, he still remained  I feel a little ashamed,From then on, he gave up his reputation and studied hard, and finally his knowledge improved by leaps and bounds. However, because of his family background and his past experience, he could only act as a minor official.  "

    Cao Ang nodded, "Thank you sir for the recommendation. I will definitely visit you personally and will never let the wise man down."

    The two chatted some gossip, and Xun Yu took his relatives to say goodbye to Cao Ang, and under the guidance of Cao Ang's ten men and horses, headed for Zhi County.  And Cao Ang immediately got up and went to Yingyin.
