Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 434 Hot Blooded Youth
"Trust me!" Liu He nodded slightly, and said with a sincere smile, "I will definitely help you accomplish your grand plans and ambitions."

Cao Ang was suspicious, and looked at the flames in the distance unwillingly. He only heard the sound of drums, but he never saw Xia Houshang's men and horses coming to rescue him. Cao Anmin on the right heard the sound of killing, and he must be in the same situation as himself. .

"You don't need to read it anymore!" Liu He said with a smile: "I have intercepted your letter long ago. Xia Houshang will not come until the fourth watch, and Yan Liang has already set up an ambush ahead."

"What?" Cao Ang was shocked, and then became discouraged, only to realize that all of this had been arranged by Liu He, and it seemed that the general situation was over.

"General, General Cao of Youying has been captured!" At this moment, Wen Chou escorted a man forward, and it was Cao Zhao.

Liu He looked at Cao Ang and said, "As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and the matter has come to this, if you still try to resist in vain, you will not be the only one who will die."

"Anmin..." Cao Ang looked at Cao Anmin with disheveled hair, heaved a long sigh, threw the sword on the ground, and dismounted.

Liu He also got off his horse, supported Cao Ang who was about to kneel down, and said with a smile, "I'm very pleased that Zixiu found his way back when he lost his way. You and I will go to the camp to talk about it."

At this time, the troops of Cao Ang and Cao Zhao had been forced by the Han army to retreat to the mountain again. Liu He asked Wen Chou to take Cao Anmin to take down the enemy army.

Cao Ang was shocked by this, his expression was gloomy, and he didn't say a word when he arrived in the camp. Liu He ordered someone to bring herbal tea to let him recover first.

When he was resting, he suddenly heard another commotion outside the camp, and the shouts of killing lasted for half a stick of incense, and then he saw Yan Liang coming to the tent to report that Xiahou Shang's reinforcements were defeated by the ambush and fled back to Xiaopei .

Seeing the blood on Yan Liang's armor, Cao Ang sighed helplessly again, with mixed emotions in his heart. Jiuli Mountain was lost, and Pengcheng's soldiers and horses were also defeated.

Liu He went to deal with military affairs first and let Cao Ang rest for a while, but he couldn't sleep, and sat in the tent until dawn. After a while, Cao Anmin was also brought into the tent. But he couldn't eat a single bite.

After breakfast, the Han army broke out again, crossed Jiuli Mountain, and camped outside Xiaopei City at noon. After everything was deployed, Liu He ordered someone to bring Cao Ang to meet him.

A banquet was set up in the tent of the Chinese Army, and only Liu He was with him. Cao Ang glanced at the two iron tower-like guards behind him, and the thought of taking risks rose in his heart in a flash, and he sat silently on the chair.

Liu He said with a smile: "You and I are both courtiers of the Han Dynasty. You are not considered a defeat, let alone a prisoner. You don't have to. Come and taste the braised pork I made myself."

Cao Ang was stunned and said, "You...can cook?"

Liu He nodded and said, "Try first?"

Cao Ang was skeptical, picked up a piece of fat and thin meat, and chewed it in his mouth. It tasted really good, but he felt something was wrong. He frowned and said, "Isn't this beef?"

"This is pork!" Liu He smiled and ate a large piece himself, asking, "How does it taste?"

"This is cheap meat..." Cao Ang said halfway, seeing that Liu He was eating very calmly, he had to stop, taste the taste, finally nodded and said: "It's really good."

Liu He said with a smile: "As long as the food can satisfy the hunger, what is the difference between high and low? Whether it is delicious or not depends on the craftsmanship."

Cao Ang was silent, couldn't help but took another piece and fed it to his mouth. After eating a little bit, he suddenly felt more hungry in his stomach, so he took two more mouthfuls of rice.

"Anmin, eat quickly, too." At this moment, Cao Ang suddenly went all out, and pushed Cao Zhao, who was stunned beside him, "You can't be a starving ghost even if you die."

Cao Anmin agreed, and the two picked up their bowls and ate quickly. At this time, Cao Ang felt another comparison. Liu He could cook such delicious food. It seemed that he was not as good as him.

There were only four dishes on the table, and they were eaten up by the two brothers in an instant, especially the braised pork, even the oil on the plate was eaten clean with rice.

Liu He quietly watched the two of them feasting, and when they finished eating, he ordered someone to remove the cups and plates, took the two of them to the desk beside him, and said, "Zixiu, let's look at this map, it's bigger than your grand plans and ambitions." Dozens of times bigger."

"This is..." Cao Ang frowned, looking at the simple but strangely shaped map, he had never seen it before, and wondered: "Which state is this?"

"This is the world map!" Liu He pointed to a place the size of a coin, "This is the location of our Central Plains."

"What?" Cao Ang's eyes were full of shock, "The world, the Central Plains...is the territory of the Han Dynasty so small?"

Liu He sighed: "So, it is extremely stupid for us to kill each other. The places outside of Kyushu are what we should explore."

"Listen to me slowly!" Liu He spread out the map, gestured for the two to sit down, and said: "Let's not talk about the mysterious depths of the sea, which is the land of the Western Regions, the Guishuang Kingdom, and the Great Qin Dynasty." Every country hides our powerful opponents..."

During the whole afternoon, Liu He and Cao Ang had a long talk in the Chinese army tent, sometimes sighing, sometimes shocked, sometimes laughing, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

In the evening, Cao Ang was already beaming with joy, filled with righteous indignation, he slapped the table angrily and shouted: "This damn civil war, I wish I could end it now!"

Speaking of this, he stood up abruptly, cupped his fists and said: "If you can trust me, general, can you lend me this map, I will immediately go to the city to persuade my father to surrender."

But Liu He shook his head and smiled, "You are just a momentary impulse. Just a picture is not enough to make your father willing to admit defeat. What you have to do now is to complete the lifelong event as soon as possible, and don't make your father worry."

"What do you mean?" Cao Ang was startled, his eyes lit up suddenly: "What the general said yesterday before the battle is true?"

"Of course!" Liu He nodded and said, "The matter between me and your father may take some time, and you must be in a dilemma. I will let you go on a blind date first and get out of here. Your father can think calmly, and I have my own way to persuade him."

Cao Ang clasped his fists and said: "My father has great ambitions, and he only wants to help the court. Now he is forced by the situation and has no choice but to raise troops. The general treats my father and son with such care, and Cao Ang will never forget it."

Liu He patted him on the shoulder and said: "The world is big, and the future is still very long. If you and I want to go on an expedition in the future, the affairs behind us must be properly arranged so that we don't have to worry about the future. This is the most important thing in life. ah!"

Cao Ang nodded, and asked curiously, "I wonder which family the general chose for me, and is she of the right family?"

"Just don't worry!" Liu He said with a smile, "This girl is from Pinggao, Hanoi, her name is Zhang Chunhua, her father Zhang Wang used to be the magistrate of Suyi County, although she is not young, she is quite virtuous and knowledgeable. "

"This..." Cao Ang frowned and said, "Is it too young?"

Liu He said calmly: "Despite her young age, I heard that the Sima clan in Hanoi has sent people to recruit her second son Sima Yi. If you go too late, you will miss this strange woman."

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow!" Cao Ang knew that Liu He had always known people, and there must be no mistake for someone who had such a high evaluation and was favored by the Sima family.
