The cloth bag contained letters, but in fact they were just a few bamboo slips. The disease doctor had just stood up and before he could turn around, he saw the change in the man's face, and his hand holding the letter was still trembling slightly.

The bamboo slips just unfolded and fell before they could be read. The disease doctor didn't think it was caused by the contents of the letter, but thought that there was something wrong with his body again.

Tao Ji picked up the bamboo slips that fell on the ground, looked at the pale and thin wrist in Doctor Ji's hand, her eyes were about to overflow with worry, the life in Yuan's mansion was much more stable than outside, and the adult's health finally improved, But don't let it happen again.

"Don't worry, it's just a slippery hand." Yuan Huan let out a long breath and calmed down. After the disease doctor let go of his hand cautiously, he explained a few words that there was nothing wrong with his health, and Tao Ji took the letter come up.

Just now, he only read the inscription at the end. The name Cao Cao really surprised him, and he didn't know what was written on the letter.

In fact, he has been waiting for a letter from Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, not for anything else, but simply asking them why they raised troops in the name of the Yuan family in Runan to challenge Dong under such circumstances. It was their own intention, or the order of their uncle Yuan Kui. ?

If it was Yuan Kai's order, it would be an accident for Dong Zhuo to slaughter the Yuan family's children in Beijing. If it was their own intention, then their brothers would have nothing to do.

Although he originally didn't intend to get close to the Yuan family in Runan, but if Dong Zhuo's slaughter of the Yuan family's children in Beijing has nothing to do with them, for the sake of the original owner, he doesn't mind having two more cheap brothers, and the right should be given to Yuan Jing every year and festival. The little guy was taken advantage of by giving gifts.

The original owner did his best for the Yuan clan when he was the patriarch. No matter from which point of view, he is a qualified patriarch.

But he is different, he has no sense of belonging to the Yuan family in Runan. Compared with Runan who only appeared in his memory, he even thinks that the Anguo Yuan Mansion is more pleasing to the eye, not for anything else, simply because there are no such people here A man of shame.

Unexpectedly, after so many days, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not come to look for him, but Cao Cao first.

The bamboo slips were tied with a thin rope, and they did not fall apart when they fell to the ground. Yuan Huan unfolded the bamboo slips with his usual expression, and read the content on them word by word, before his unconsciously stretched body relaxed a little.

There are not many words in the letter, just a few lines. First, he greeted him politely, then asked about his identity in a cryptic manner, and finally mentioned a few words about the current situation in Dongjun County. Looking at the words and sentences in the letter, it is clear that he has been confirmed. who is it.

Boss Cao and Yuan Shao had a very good relationship when they were young. When they were young, the world was still in chaos. The sons and daughters of officials in Luoyang were fighting cocks and walking dogs.

When the original owner's father was alive, Yuan Shao didn't adopt him. The original owner met them several times in the house, but he didn't say a few words. Cao Cao is the son of Cao Song, and the officials and eunuchs in the capital often use him when they gang up and fight. It was the "eunuch queen" who came to humiliate him, and he himself was often annoyed by his status, so he didn't often go to Yuan's mansion.

The Yuan family in Runan was one of the most powerful clans in the dynasty. Yuan Shao was the son of a concubine. In addition to the eldest son of the original owner, there was also Yuan Shu, the second son of the descendant. From the fact that the two brothers are fighting hard now, it can be seen that their relationship is not very good. , obviously, a bad relationship is not a temporary problem, the two have disliked each other since they were young.

There is a clear distinction between the descendants and the concubines of the aristocratic family, otherwise Yuan Shu would not always use him as a domestic slave to provoke people.

After Yuan Shao adopted him, he continued to keep filial piety for his parents in name for six years. Under Yuan Feng's name, he was a concubine son. When he was adopted under Yuan Cheng's name, although he was a stepson, he was even more legitimate.

When the original owner, the eldest brother, was around, the two of them still maintained a plastic brotherhood. Most of the family property of the Yuan family was in the hands of the direct line. As long as the original owner was there, the owner would not fall to the two of them.

Probably suppressed for a long time and bottomed out. The two of them can only be younger brothers in front of the original owner. The news spread that the Yuan family’s sons in the capital were massacred by Dong Zhuo. Presumably, both of them were more excited than sad, otherwise they would not have fought each other until now. found him alive.

Even if they don't care about the news in the capital, they should always pay attention to the situation in Runan, but if they put their minds on it, they will find that the bodies of the clansmen killed by Dong Zhuo have been transported back to their hometown in Runan for burial.

There are more than [-] children in Beijing, only their eldest brother and newborn nephew are missing.

However, it does not.

This brother, don't worry about it.

Yuan Huan put the bamboo slips back into the cloth bag with a calm expression, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then lifted the quilt and was about to go out, "Let the messenger come to the guest room to see me."

Tao Ji bit her lip and asked Shao Ji to wait for their adults to dress. She blessed the God of Fortune and turned around to go out. The adults' expression was not right just now. She has to go to the disease doctor's office to ask later, otherwise she really can't feel at ease. .

The outer robe has been smoked on the censer to make it dry and soft. The fragrance is not heavy, and it wafts to the tip of the nose lightly, refreshing and refreshing.

In the history books, only Xun Yu, the "Liuxiang Xunling", is famous for incense. In fact, there are not a few people who go out to smoke incense. Many wealthy families love incense. In the era when spices are luxury goods, only family members can afford spices. A wealthy family.

Most of the communication between the family members burns money, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are all obvious. The more expensive the things you usually use, the more you can show the financial resources of the family. Sometimes it is not enough to have a high official position. The cost is too low, and gradually those aristocratic families who are not short of money will not associate with them. In order to break into the circle of aristocratic families, many people tighten their belts to maintain a glamorous appearance.

The outer room used to receive guests has already lit the incense burner, and the green smoke is slowly rising. The smell does not conflict with the scent on the clothes, but the combination is more refreshing.

In Mengxia season, the weather is getting hotter, the windows in the living room are half opened, and the breeze passes through the hall, bringing some coolness from the pond not far behind the house.

The sky was just right, and there was no need to use copper lamps. The maid knelt down in front of the table, put the small items that were not used on it into the tray, and then slowly got up and retreated outside. Four or five people were busy together without any confusion, even Not even a sound came out.

The upright military general stood in the hall cautiously, watching the maid's hands and feet lightly arranging the guest room, and even breathing unconsciously, he thought he was someone who had seen big scenes before, and it was not like he had never been to the palace. But growing up so big, this is the first time I have seen such a detailed scene.

Mother, is this the life of a family member? It's too particular.

The rough man Cao Hong stood there dumbfounded, and finally patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief when all the maids left and he was the only one left in the guest room.

Pay attention, too pay attention, it is the pay attention that rough people like them can't understand.

This time he came out to deliver letters, he has gained a lot of knowledge, and he has a little more capital to brag about when he goes back. Not bad, this trip is worth it.

Cao Hong turned his head to look at the closed door, picked up the warm water prepared for him and drank it in one gulp, smacked his lips to taste some sweetness, and poured himself another cup.

Along the way, he hurried to the Yuan Mansion in Anguo, and he wanted to avoid Yuan Shao and drive here quietly. He didn't dare to find a place to rest, and he was dry at the moment. I have already drank directly from the teapot.

There were soft footsteps outside the door, and the martial arts practitioners had sharp eyes and ears. Cao Hong hurriedly put down his teacup and straightened his clothes, staring at the closed door with a little nervousness.

Before he set off, his cousin Cao Cao deliberately pulled him to the corner and told him to be cautious in his words and deeds in the Yuan Mansion. Although he didn't know why his cousin was so nervous, it had to be said that he had been successfully infected to the point of nervousness.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, the maid opened the door, and a young man dressed in cyanine clothes walked in slowly, his face was like a crown jade, his eyes were like bright stars, but his face was a little pale, with a slight look of frailty. Walking by, the quiet and gentle fragrance also drifted past.

Cao Hong got up his spirits, and immediately saluted when he was seated in the upper seat, "The last general, Cao Hong, has seen Yuan and the original prefect."

"Zi Lian doesn't need to be too polite." Yuan Huan nodded slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Meng De's letter was brief. I don't know what kind of difficulties you encountered in Dongjun, which made Meng De send the letter here all the way."

Although Cao Cao threw face at Yuan Shao during the Kanto Alliance, he still followed Yuan Shao in name. The three to five thousand soldiers and horses he recruited were not enough in the troubled times, and there was no food and grass supply. He stayed in Hanoi for a few months. When Dong Zhuo was suddenly killed by his adoptive son Lu Bu, he returned to Yuan Shao after running out of food and grass.

Cao Mengde mentioned in his letter that he is now leading troops in Dongjun, which is located in Yanzhou, which is where his hometown Chen Liu is located. If he encounters difficulties, it is obviously easier to communicate directly with Yuan Shao, so he secretly sent the letter to him. , and at the end, he wrote such sensational words as "brother is fine, I feel at ease", which must be asking for something from him.

The content on the bamboo slips is not long, so it can still be sensational. I have to say that Yuan Huan thinks that this younger brother is better than his own younger brother, but when he thinks of the opposite side, he writes with tears in his eyes and says, "Brother, it's really great that you are fine." "Okay" was Cao Mengde, a hero of the generation, and he felt his scalp go numb.

Cao Hong rubbed his face heavily, fearing that his tears would frighten this fairy-like person when he became agitated, he resolutely gave up the plan that Cao Cao made for him before going out, "cry with your thighs in your arms if you don't know how to speak". Description of future intentions.

After Dong Zhuo's death, they had no money to pay, so they could only return to Yuan Shao. Yuan Benchu ​​was worried that his cousin didn't show him face in front of the princes. In the army, the nose is not a nose and an eye is not an eye.

A month ago, the black bandit Bai Rao joined forces with Yu Du and Sui Gu to attack Wei and Dong counties. Wang Gong, the prefect of Dong counties, was unable to defend himself, so he wrote letters to seek help from various princes. He promised well but did not send troops. Even if he sent troops, there were only a few crooked melons and cracked dates, which could not resist the more than [-] black mountain bandits who attacked overwhelmingly.

Their cousin couldn't see it, and took the initiative to ask for orders to support Dongjun. Yuan Shao had no objection on the surface, so only the three to 5000 people came out.

Yuan Huan: ...

Was Yuan Benchu's brain eaten by zombies?

No matter how much the princes from all walks of life support their troops, they are all Han officials in name. He is a member of the Yuan family in Runan, and now he regards himself as the head of the Yuan family. It's okay to raise your name by repelling bandit soldiers, right?

When I was young, I was able to live in seclusion for six years without being an official in order to raise my name. Now, I am capable and capable. Instead, I can see so many people in dire straits and remain indifferent. I know that I am competing with Yuan Shu, and it is useful to fight for others in the end. Make a wedding dress.

Cao Cao was from Yanzhou. Once Dongjun was breached, the Heishan banditry would spread to other counties in Yanzhou. His hometown, Chenliu, might also suffer.

The black mountain bandits are powerful, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai has already died in battle, relying on those prefecture and county troops who are neither as capable nor as numerous as the black bandits, the huge Yanzhou will only be burned, killed, looted and reduced to scorched earth.

The court in Chang'an is in danger, Yuan Shao in Jizhou does not want to extend a helping hand, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have not been completely wiped out, Yuzhou has been beaten into a sieve, and everyone around them is unreliable. Dare to take 5000 people to fight against more than [-] people.

That's not fighting, that's death.

Today's Boss Cao has not yet grown to the point where he can coerce the emperor to command the princes in the later stage. His goal is to become a famous minister, a famous minister who can turn the tide and save the great man, who can make meritorious deeds for the great man, confer the title of marquis as the general who conquers the west, and die The words "Tomb of Marquis Cao, General of the Han Dynasty Expedition to the West" on the back tombstone are enough.

If you can go one step further, it is not impossible to be an eternal prime minister.

Cao Cao, who was loyal to the Han Dynasty, did not experience so many blows. Then, the Kanto Alliance showed him the intrigue among the princes. After the alliance was disbanded, the princes from all walks of life fought together. Hit hard.

Boss Cao, who died before his ambitions were fulfilled, was on the eve of blackening, and somehow he thought that there was someone who could help him in the humble corner of Jizhou. In desperation, he sent his cousin Cao Hong to meet him. luck.

Yuan Huan sighed. He knew that Cao Cao would definitely win the Heishan bandits. The beginning of Cao Wei's hegemony was when he defeated the Heishan bandits and acquired Yanzhou. Butterfly wings caused Cao Cao to have no reinforcements, which further harmed the people of a state. He was afraid that his dreams at night would be the cries of those people.

I think so, but my attitude can't change so quickly, "I already know what Mengde means, but Zilian, Zhongshan doesn't have many soldiers and horses now, let alone the mobilization of soldiers and horses is easy to scare the snake, and the black mountain bandits combine poison and suigu More than [-] soldiers, even if I am willing to send troops, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket."

Cao Hong looked at the young man who was frowning slightly, his left hand fell on the side of his leg without a trace, he gritted his teeth and decided to make a big move, pinched his hand hard, then knelt on the ground with lightning speed, crying loudly, "My lord, the black mountain bandits are rampant, and the people of Yanzhou are so innocent. The officers and soldiers are powerless to suppress the bandits. Please lend a helping hand and help the people of Yanzhou!"

Deafening cries resounded through the sky, startled Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, who were training recruits outside the main courtyard, ran back quickly, what was the situation, what was the crying in broad daylight?

Yuan Huan: ...

tired.jpg

Is this really the Cao Hong Cao Zilian who was loyal and brave enough to sacrifice his horse to the Savior?

How did he feel cheated?

I only heard that Liu Bei in a certain novel loves to cry, but I didn't say that Cao Cao's generals were also made of water.

What a mess!
