Cao Ren didn't know until now.
The idea of his own general was to take advantage of the possibility of chaos in the north and lead his troops to annex Wei County.
It is nothing more than that the general will come to Dongjun in person to take office.
It seems that after taking Wei County, they plan to combine Dong County and Wei County into one area, and then expand it into a large territory.
After a brief moment of shock.
What replaced it was passion.
Compared with the orders Zhang Liao and Cao Chun received, the tasks entrusted to them by the general were definitely considered top priority.
After all, this is about the future.
It is related to the growth of the entire Cao family.
So valued, so trusted.
What else could he say?
What's more, as a general, you achieve meritorious service by killing enemies, and by opening up territory and expanding territory, you achieve meritorious deeds.
If he followed the general's instructions and successfully captured the entire Wei County and firmly held the general in his hands, then this would definitely be considered a great achievement.
It will definitely be recorded in the merit list of the Cao family.
Just thinking about it makes your blood boil.
Think about this.
Cao Ren no longer thought about it, bowed to the end, and responded in a sonorous and powerful tone.
"Please rest assured, general, Ren will live up to his trust and will open up all the cities in the southern part of Wei County in the shortest possible time so that he can travel unhindered in the future!"
Cao Ang smiled and nodded.
So far.
The mobilization of the army under his command is basically completed.
A total of more than 12,000 soldiers and horses have been divided among three generals, each responsible for a major task.
And what Cao Ang will do next.
While doing their best to develop Dongjun and accumulate strength, they are waiting for changes in Jizhou.
As long as there is a change in the north.
And I received the corresponding information here.
He could immediately order the whole army to go north, quickly occupy the entire territory of Wei County, and open up the two states of Ji and Yan.
Once the entire Wei County is captured.
That not only meant the expansion of territory, but more importantly, it meant that Cao Ang could legitimately sit on the card table in Jizhou.
…
The afternoon three days later.
Located at Xichengmen, Puyang County.
Cao Ang led Dian Wei to wait outside the city, while Xun Yu, Xun You and other direct core civil servants stood behind Cao Ang, waiting quietly.
Behind everyone, there are quite a few middle- and upper-level officials, most of whom are direct descendants of the Cao family, but some are local forces.
With such a large group of people, the wait didn't take long.
From a distance, one could see a convoy approaching slowly, led by dozens of majestic soldiers on tall horses, lined up on the left and right as a guard of honor.
Behind it was a lavishly decorated carriage.
Whether it is the horses used to pull the carriage or the exquisite brocade patterns engraved on the carriage, they all prove that the owner of the carriage is definitely an extraordinary person.
And after this carriage.
There were more than ten large cars stretching along the way. The cars were bulging with stuff, but they were all covered with tarpaulins. At a glance, it was not clear what was on the cars.
"Hush!"
As the leading soldier of the honor guard at the front reined in the horses, an order to stop the procession was also heard from the carriage at the right time.
"Wow!"
As the curtain was lifted, a beautiful woman in brocade clothes slowly stepped out of the carriage.
Wearing a tiara that symbolizes the status of a royal family member, the bun is filled with all kinds of precious gold and jade hairpins. Over the light yellow satin palace skirt that is dragged all the way to the feet, she also wears a dress that seems to be woven from gold threads. Smock.
And as the woman's face appeared in front of everyone, everyone present, led by Cao Ang, bowed and saluted in unison.
"I see you, Your Highness the Princess!"
…
The woman who calmly accepted everyone's salute at this moment.
It was the Wannian Princess Liu Ping who temporarily separated from Cao Ang after the First World War in Jinxiang County and left Yanzhou to retrieve her treasure.
Today is when she arrived in Puyang.
After everyone bowed and bowed.
Liu Pingcai's voice was gentle, but he raised his hands dignifiedly and said: "You are all the heroes of the country and the pillars of the imperial court. Please get up quickly. There is no need to be polite!"
Under the leadership of Cao Ang.
Everyone stood up immediately.
Many people looked at the princess with excitement, and the local forces in Dongjun who followed were even more thoughtful after hearing the princess's words.
"Your Highness, you must be very tired after traveling and traveling all the way. I have set up a reception banquet for you in the county mansion. Please come and enjoy it!"
Under the gaze of everyone.
Liu Ping nodded reservedly.
"Cao Qing, please!"
As Cao Ang waved his hand, many middle- and upper-level officials cleared the way. Her Royal Highness the Princess returned to the carriage, and Cao Ang climbed onto the red rabbit horse.
…
In the sitting room of the prefect's mansion.
After three drinks.
Seeing that the atmosphere is almost in place.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up gracefully and came to the stage with crisp movements, holding a wine cup in her hand.
Then Liu Ping stood up.
Cao Ang immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and dropped it on the table with a crisp sound.
Seeing the host and distinguished guests acting like this, the people sitting below could not understand what they meant.
They immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Everyone who was drunk and chatting and laughing now became sitting upright, with solemn expressions on their faces.
See this situation.
Liu Ping nodded slightly.
Then he raised his hand slightly to signal, and then said with a serious tone.
"The world is in turmoil today. The traitor Dong has taken the emperor's ministers to hide in Chang'an. The majesty of the imperial court has been lost. The people have been displaced. Bandits and bandits are rampant. This is the time when the country is in danger and its survival is at risk!"
"At this time of crisis, no one who is not a hero of the country or a pillar of the Han Dynasty can support the sky, turn the tide, and save the people from the fire and water!"
Speaking of which.
Liu Ping paused for a moment.
Then he turned sideways to face Cao Ang, raised the wine glass in his hand to signal, and then spoke impassionedly.
"When I was still in Luoyang, I heard that General Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu were a talented man of the Han Dynasty, a man of unparalleled loyalty and loyalty to the imperial court."
"In my opinion, a person like General Cao who can support the sky and the sea is the best person to save the country and the people. This is also the reason why I came to Puyang County this time. I will give all the support I can provide! "
"You are all General Cao's right-hand men, and naturally you are also the pillars of the country. I hope that you can help each other more wholeheartedly in the future. This is not only for General Cao, but also for our Han Dynasty!"
"In the future, when the country's thieves are eliminated, the bandits are quelled, and the world is pacified, you will all be men of outstanding merit!"
…
Princess Wannian spared no effort to flatter Cao Ang, which was nothing short of spectacular.
Listening to this, everyone in the audience had colorful expressions.
Your Highness, Princess, must be working too hard to stand up for General Cao.
Before, everyone had not figured out why Princess Wannian suddenly came to Puyang County, but after saying these words, it was finally clear.
She is here to support Cao Ang!
First, he painfully elaborates on the current crisis situation of the Han Dynasty, and then shows that only talents like General Cao Ang can save the Han Dynasty.
Then let them, who are the younger brothers, follow General Cao in a down-to-earth manner. In the future, they can be promoted to high positions and become rich for half their lives.
Isn't this just cheering for Cao Ang?
Of course, if you know, you will know, and those who should be affected will still be affected.
It's okay to say that the local forces in Dongjun were completely conquered by Cao Ang when he first came here, using a combination of kindness and power.
Those who were truly affected by these words.
They were the counselors who had not long since defected to Cao Ang and were not as senior as Xun Yu, Xun You and others, as well as the middle and lower-level officials directly affiliated with the Cao family.
After experiencing today's banquet, the cohesion between these people has undoubtedly increased.
It also became more and more solidified, and he always followed Cao Ang unswervingly, holding the idea of the boss's lap.
Even the princesses of the Han Dynasty cheered for General Cao, which shows how popular General Cao is among the mainstream people in the upper class and among the clan surnamed Liu.
If you work with a boss like this, is there anything you need to worry about about your future?
Just work hard and you'll be done!
…
"Your Highness, please slow down and come this way. I have ordered people to prepare tea soup, which is just in time for you to sober up."
Cao Angping retreated from the people who were following him.
He led Princess Wannian to the side hall alone.
Because there was no one else following him.
Therefore, the position between Cao Ang and the princess naturally became slightly closer.
to be honest.
This was the first time that Cao Ang saw Princess Wannian dressed in women's clothing. Every time Liu Ping appeared in front of him, she was either wrapped tightly or dressed like a knight.
Today's extremely bright and luxurious palace dress really refreshed Cao Ang's understanding and made him amazed.
Without the loose robe, the tight skirt was restrained by the belt at the waist, which directly made Liu Ping's figure more and more exquisite and graceful.
Now walking beside the princess.
On the tip of Cao Ang's nose, he could smell the faint scent of peach. I don't know if the princess was born with it or if she used some special aromatherapy.
As he turned around to look.
It can be clearly seen that Liu Ping's white and tender face with clear lines and full of three-dimensionality still has a tall and straight nose bridge, slightly sharp eyes, and high and sharp eyebrow lines.
Just compared to the past.
At this moment, Her Royal Highness the Princess' fair and tender face showed two faint blushes caused by drinking, and there was a faint scent of wine between her exhaled breath.
The lips were even stained with a layer of vermilion rouge, which was bright and delicate, like water cherries.
These greatly dissipate the sharpness on the face.
…
"General Cao, is there something wrong with the way I dress? Why have you been staring at me since I left the hall?"
Women are indeed extremely sensitive to the gaze of others.
Facing the princess's straightforward question.
Cao Ang did not feel embarrassed at all, but said with a smile on his face: "There is nothing wrong. It's just that after Your Highness changed his dress, I was shocked by your grace, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."
Looks like a strange woman like Liu Ping.
I definitely won't feel any strong mood swings because of Cao Ang's kind words.
She just smiled slightly, her eyes softened slightly, then she gently pinched her clothes with her fingers, then pointed at the powder on her face, and said rather helplessly.
"I haven't dressed up like this for a long time. If I hadn't had a maid waiting by my side, I would probably be at a loss for a while."
Hear this.
Cao Ang immediately bowed slightly to him.
He said with emotion in his words.
"Your Highness, thank you for your hard work!"
Liu Ping shook her head slightly.
"There's no need to worry about this. When I was a princess, I would dress up like this every day."
"It's just that since the death of my father, I've been traveling back and forth between many counties for several months. I'm used to dressing up like a man, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Speaking of which.
Princess Wannian paused slightly.
Then he said with a slightly more serious tone: "Besides, I'm here to strengthen your momentum this time. As long as you can maintain the majesty and manners of a princess, what does it matter if the process is a little more complicated? "
…
As Liu Ping said.
The reason why she changed back to the princess's clothing specifications was to support Cao Ang.
As early as two days ago, Princess Wannian's motorcade had actually arrived not far from Puyang County, and they also quietly sent someone over to inform Cao Ang.
And such a grand appearance.
And hold a reception banquet.
They were all proposed by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
After all, apart from the hidden property belonging to the Ling Emperor, she was the only one who could give Cao Ang the greatest help.
In order to allow Cao Ang's power to continue to grow and sweep across the world at a faster speed, so as to achieve the purpose of purifying the world and wiping out the rebels.
Liu Ping spared no effort.
"General Cao, please arrange for the assets I brought to be transferred to the treasury as soon as possible and keep them properly to avoid long nights and dreams!"
"Your Highness, don't worry. During the banquet just now, I quietly sent someone to hand over the money. At this moment, the assets have been placed in the treasury."
Speaking of which.
Cao Ang then remembered what a subordinate had reported to him after the banquet.
A dozen cars worth of money.
Under the tarp, boxes were piled up one after another, filling the entire cart. More than a dozen guards worked for a long time before the transfer was completed.
Although most of the money in the box was five baht, it was still a pretty huge amount.
Purchase of war horses, military pay, miners' wages, craftsmen's salaries...
All of the above can be supported by this astronomical figure.
It's enough for Cao Ang to use for a long time.
…
After sitting in the side hall for a while.
Liu Ping suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.
"General Cao, have you arranged my residence in Puyang City for me?"
"If not, I will ask my men to buy a house for me. After all, if I want to live here for a long time, not having a house will still be inconvenient."
When Cao Ang heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he nodded happily and said: "Your Highness, I almost forgot to mention this. It has already been arranged. It is right next door to my prefect's residence."
"It's still early, so I might as well lead His Highness to have a look."
"Speaking of which, there have been people living in this house before, but they are all familiar to Your Highness the Princess. Maybe you will be surprised when you see it later!"
Liu Ping couldn't help but blinked.
The tall and well-proportioned brows also trembled up and down a bit, making them very stylish.
"What General Cao said really makes me a little curious. If it's not troublesome, I can ask General Cao to take me there to have a look."
The two immediately stood up and walked.
