Cao Ang also bowed his hand in return.
Then he said in an extremely sincere tone: "You disregarded your own safety and plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo. You are a benevolent and righteous man. It is natural for me to help you, so there is no need to talk about generous rewards."
"As for me, I am General Cao Ang of the Tiger Guards. This time I am following the coalition forces to fight against Dong."
Yuan Shao's memorial was completed a few days ago, and now Cao Ang is no longer Colonel Huben, but Lieutenant Colonel Huben.
Just wait until you return to your home territory.
He can continue to recruit troops and expand his troops. As long as there are sufficient resources to support it, Cao Ang will soon have a powerful army.
After Xun You heard Cao Ang's self-introduction.
His eyes flashed with surprise.
After just recalling it for a moment, he couldn't help but smile a little, and said more respectfully and sincerely: "I have heard that Cao Zixiu is a sincere man, a pillar of the Han Dynasty, and loyal to the country. When I see him today, he is indeed even more famous!"
Cao Ang's reputation once again came into play.
Xun You knew who he was just by hearing his name, and his attitude was visibly friendly. However, his change of attitude was not as enthusiastic as when Xun Yu first saw Cao Ang.
There is still a difference in the difficulty of the strategies between the uncle and nephew.
After Cao Ang said a few polite words.
Xun You seemed to have thought of something, pointed outside with his hand, and then asked in a rather weak tone.
"Since General Cao has led his troops here, the coalition forces must have defeated Dong Zhuo. I wonder what the situation is like outside now. Have the Dong thieves been killed?"
Zhuang Ruo glanced at it accidentally.
One could clearly sense the strong hope in Xun You's eyes, as if he was eager to hear a positive answer from his own mouth.
Cao Ang immediately felt enlightened.
He quickly put on a regretful expression, and then sighed helplessly.
"well!"
"The success falls short!"
"Since the coalition forces launched their own troops, they have attacked the city and captured the flag. They will soon be able to attack the city and kill the Dong thief."
"But I never thought that this shameless villain would burn down the palace, take the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court with him, and escape from Luoyang City in a hurry."
"Although our army took over Luoyang and put out the fire, there is only a pile of ruins left."
…
Cao Ang's tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.
Xun You couldn't help but be startled.
"Luoyang was burned to rubble, and even the emperor was robbed by the treacherous thieves?"
The tone is sad.
Although he had previously learned from Xu Jing that Luoyang City had been destroyed by fire, Xun You still did not know the details such as the emperor being kidnapped.
Suddenly I heard about it.
He felt horrified in his heart, but at the same time he was also quite painful and depressed.
It really fell short.
No!
It can even be said that the coalition forces did not gain the upper hand in this game and never achieved a real victory.
Although Dong Zhuo withdrew from Luoyang City.
Seems to be showing weakness.
But even the emperor, who symbolized the dignity of the Han Dynasty, was taken away by Dong Zhuo, and the best place in the world was burned to ashes.
It is difficult to say that Dong Zhuo fled in a hurry.
It's more like the enemy has actively shifted its strategy.
This was the source of Xun You's inner confusion and depression. Even if his assassination failed, even the coalition forces could not do anything to Dong Zhuo. Could he only watch this treacherous villain without a bottom line wreak havoc?
Xun You now was a serious and loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, even more passionate than his uncle Xun Yu.
Otherwise, planning to assassinate Dong Zhuo, something that might cause his head to fall at any time, is something that ordinary people can't do?
If not for luck.
Xun Gongda has already died!
…
After a long silence.
Xun You raised his head, looked at Cao Ang, and asked abruptly.
"Since Dong Zhuo fled west in a hurry, I dare to ask General Cao, how are the coalition forces responding now? Did they leave some troops to put out the fire in the city while the rest of the troops went to pursue Dong Zhuo, or did they have other arrangements?"
This question made Cao Ang raise his eyebrows.
Um?
It seems like the question comes to the bottom of my heart!
He immediately showed an even more helpless look, shaking his head and answering in a low voice.
"Coalition Leader Yuan and the other generals are concerned that the army has been traveling for days, the troops and horses are trapped, and there are many casualties along the way. Dong Zhuo may take advantage of them if they pursue blindly."
"Therefore, the entire army is stationed in Luoyang City for the time being, and we will consider it again after we have rested."
Cao Ang's words just ended here.
Xun You couldn't help but sneered.
A look of disdain appeared on his face.
Sure enough.
You know that the coalition forces are totally unreliable.
Why think about it after a break? Doesn’t the subtext mean that you won’t think about it anymore?
Just when Xun You was a little disappointed.
Cao Ang's voice sounded in his ears again.
"It's just that after some discussion with my father, I felt that the emperor is still in the hands of Dong's thieves. If he is allowed to go west safely, I am afraid that the country will be overturned and the country will be lost."
"So at this moment, my father has led all his troops and horses to pursue Dong Zhuo westward alone."
As soon as this statement came out.
Xun You was immediately shocked.
He looked at Cao Ang in shock.
Then there was awe.
He was originally a little sick.
It was as if I gained strength at this moment.
He struggled to sit up straight.
Then he endured the pain, bowed to Cao Ang, and said sincerely.
"General Cao is highly righteous! Your Majesty is highly righteous! The virtuous father and son are indeed the pillars of our great nation. They are both loyal and unyielding men for the country!"
"Please pay your respects to Xun You!"
…
As a person who is proficient in conspiracies and tricks.
Xun You's intelligence didn't even know how high it was, so he reacted as soon as Cao Ang said it.
He led his troops alone to pursue Dong Zhuo.
What a risk!
With a small number attacking a large number, and Dong Zhuo's army has not lost its combat effectiveness, if he is not careful, he will be severely defeated, or even die on the spot.
The Cao family's father and son were able to make such a decision, absolutely regardless of life and death, they only wanted to save the face of the Han Dynasty and support the generals of the Han Dynasty.
Compare with Yuan Shao and others.
It is too noble!
Xun You felt that he was far inferior to such a person who was loyal to the country, so of course he would admire him greatly.
If the favorability can be digitized.
I'm afraid that at this moment, a bunch of plus signs have appeared above Xun You's head, and the relationship is obviously getting better.
See this situation.
Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The title of this big man’s loyal minister is so useful!
Facing people like Xun You and Xun Yu, it is simply an invincible killing weapon.
Once the past deeds are laid out, those talents who still have loyalty and respect for the Han Dynasty will simply bow down.
Nothing to say.
Cao Ang has decided.
From now on, the title of "loyal minister of the great Han Dynasty" will be welded to his head. No one can take it away. Who dares to say that he is not a loyal minister? He will be struck to death with a big sword in minutes!
…
After chatting for a few more words.
Cao Ang successfully persuaded Xun You to follow him and stay with the army for the time being.
Considering that Xun You has difficulty moving at the moment.
Cao Ang immediately ordered the soldiers to bring a cart over, carefully carried Xun You on it, and then went to his mansion.
Xun You was quite quiet along the way.
Only when Cao Ang started talking, he would follow up and say a few words.
The rest of the time, most of them were looking at both sides of the road, especially now that it had been burnt to black, and most of the main buildings had turned into charred North and South Palaces.
There is a hint of desolation in his eyes from time to time.
Occasionally he would sigh.
Only when he catches a glimpse of Cao Ang riding on a tall horse, will this feeling of desolation recede slightly and turn into appreciation and approval.
This happened for a long time.
The team arrived at the Cao family's residence from the prison.
After nodding to Zhang Liao and others waiting in front of the door, Cao Ang then raised his head and looked at his old house quietly.
have to say.
This mansion is really incompatible with the dilapidated and miserable tone of the entire Luoyang city.
Whether it is the gate of the mansion, the door plaque on the head, or even the house beasts on the left and right, as well as the walls, they all look clean and tidy.
Cao Ang didn't seem to be affected by the brutal destruction of Luoyang City, which made Cao Ang feel very relieved.
"Gongda, this is the residence of our Cao family when they were in Luoyang. It seems to be well-preserved. You can rest here tonight."
"Excuse me, General Cao!"
Xun You expressed his gratitude politely.
Then Cao Ang groped around for a while, found the key that had been on him, and pushed the door open with a quick movement.
"Crunch~"
With a sound, the door opened slightly.
Just when Cao Ang was about to enter.
Always following him.
Dian Wei, who was silent and accompanying him for protection, suddenly rushed in front of him and blocked Cao Ang's entire body behind his back.
"Keng!"
Lifting the short halberd, Dian Wei pointed his right hand to a corner of the yard, and then shouted angrily in a deep voice.
"Who's hiding there?"
"Sneaky, come out quickly!"
Someone is hiding in their own home?
Now Cao Ang became interested.
Involuntarily, a head poked out from behind Dian Wei.
At a glance, I saw a man covered in black robes, squatting in the corner.
He seemed to be frightened by Dian Wei's scolding just now, and was trembling there now.
This figure looks familiar.
This idea just came to my mind.
Then he saw the man covered in black robes slowly raised his head, revealing the face hidden under his hood.
In an instant.
Cao Ang stood stunned on the spot.
Damn it!
noob! ! !
…………
Patted Dian Wei's arm.
With the fierce man's confused look in his eyes, Cao Ang whispered a few words in his ear.
Dian Wei nodded immediately.
Then he honestly withdrew.
Cao Ang also closed the door first, then turned around and faced Xun You with his hands clasped in fists.
"Gongda, something happened. I'm afraid no one can live in my house tonight. But I will arrange another place for you. I hope you can forgive me."
Xun You hurriedly returned the favor with cupped fists.
"General Cao can give you a safe place to live. I am grateful enough. How can I ask for forgiveness?"
He is not ignorant. It would be rude to explore Cao Ang's secrets.
It is not something a gentleman would do.
After giving Zhang Liao a few words and instructing him to take everyone and find a few empty houses on the left and right sides to stay, Cao Ang opened the door and went in again.
"Snapped!"
Close the door with your backhand.
Cao Ang even bolted the door.
To prevent anyone from entering.
After that, he looked at the figure that had appeared before him.
It is the eldest lady Dong Bai.
…
"I said, Miss, are you crazy? Why don't you follow Grandfather Qi and evacuate Luoyang City instead of staying here?"
"You know, right now, the entire Luoyang City is full of coalition forces, searching every house. If I hadn't returned to my old house today, I would have found you before anyone else."
"Any other person, after knowing that you are Dong Gong's granddaughter, your life would be in danger. Don't you want your life?!"
After Cao Ang closed the door.
He didn't care about anything else, but instead gave him a scolding.
I really have lingering fears.
Now that Dong Zhuo has left, Luoyang City has been taken over by the coalition forces, and there are soldiers from all walks of life everywhere.
If Dong Bai is discovered by Yuan Shao and others, then after losing Dong Zhuo, the biggest target, Dong Bai, Dong Zhuo's direct blood relative, is likely to become an existence that the coalition forces will kill in anger.
Fortunately, this little girl is quite clever.
Know how to hide in your own house.
But this matter itself is extremely uncertain. What if Cao Ang returns to Luoyang this time and does not settle in the Cao family's residence?
Too reckless!
And after hearing Cao Ang's reprimand.
Dong Bai suddenly showed a very aggrieved expression, and he was on the verge of tears, looking at Cao Ang with rather red eyes.
It seems that just to wait for him here, I have endured a lot of pressure and grievance, and I will cry in the next second.
See this situation.
Cao Ang couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.
Then he waved to her and said softly, "Come here!"
…
The next second.
Dong Bai gave Cao Ang a violent headbutt, hitting his chest directly, causing Cao Ang to take a few steps back without noticing.
Then he noticed that a pair of hands hugged his waist, and they used a lot of strength to hold him tightly.
"I'm not crazy, it's my grandfather who is crazy. He set fire to Luoyang City and set off troops to kill people wantonly. The city was full of corpses and wailing."
"He became a bit unfamiliar to me, and I didn't want to leave with him."
"Besides my grandfather, you are the only one I can rely on, so I have to wait for you here!"
His cheek was buried in Cao Ang's chest.
So much so that the sound was a little blurry.
But Cao Ang heard it clearly.
The hesitation, fear, and worry about the future revealed in these three words.
It really made him feel a little distressed.
And the last sentence, those extremely straightforward words, seemed to reverse Honkai's character, making the originally rather arrogant young lady become somewhat unabashed.
It can be seen that the negative emotions in his heart have already overwhelmed his nature, making him eager to express his feelings to the people he relies on.
Cao Ang couldn't help but stretched out his right hand, opened the hood of the black robe, and gently touched Dong Bai's head a few times, soothing her traumatized mind.
"Be good, don't be afraid, I'm right here!"
