Lu Zhenna is a top boss in the world.

Famous throughout the world.

He is the most authoritative scholar in the Han Dynasty.

He is proficient in various classics and historical collections, and his research on ancient classics is unparalleled by few in the world. At the same time, his foundation in modern classics is not weak at all.

It can be said that in the field of culture, Lu Zhi and Lu Shangshu have reached a height that makes people look up to them.

That's why the Queen Mother and others became so excited and enthusiastic after hearing that Cao Ang's chosen imperial master was Lu Zhi and Lu Ziqian.

And there is another layer of consideration involved.

After all, Liu Bian has lost his position as emperor. Even though he has a high degree of legal authority, it is still unknown whether he can regain the throne in the future.

Despite Cao Ang's help.

But who can predict what will happen in the future?

If Lu Zhi can be successfully invited and he is satisfied with Liu Bian, then it will be a matter of course to win over the huge faction behind him represented by Lu Zhi.

This would have a very important impact on ousting Liu Xie from the throne and helping Liu Bian regain his position in the future.

"General Cao, as long as you can invite Lu Zigan, if there is anything you need me and Ping'er to do, you might as well speak up and just say it!"

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this.

First he bowed his hands to everyone present, and then said in a rather relaxed tone: "I already have a plan in my mind on how to persuade Lu Ziqian."

"What is lacking right now is to win his trust, so we need a few venerables to leave their seals on the blank silk books."

"Then I will leave the text on the silk book and send it all the way to Shanggu County in Youzhou, and deliver it to Lu Zhi personally."

"I can't say that it will definitely succeed, but I'm 70% sure that I can convince him!"



Hearing just such a simple condition.

There is no reason why everyone should not agree.

The Queen Mother got up first and rummaged among the cabinets in the house for a while, then found two small seals and placed them one by one in front of Cao Ang.

"During the chaos in the Luoyang Palace, the imperial seal in Bian'er's hand was lost. To this day, I don't know if it has been taken away by others."

"But fortunately, when I left Luoyang, I conveniently collected an emperor's seal for Bian'er, and in addition, there was also the queen mother's seal that belonged to me."

"I will hand it over to General Cao today. It is up to the general to decide how to use it!"

Such words and actions.

As a result, Princess Wannian's eyes flickered, revealing a rather complicated expression.

Being able to hand over all the seals representing their identity, it can be seen that the queen mother and brother really trust General Cao, just like a family!

Seeing this situation, Liu Ping was unambiguous.

After groping in his arms for a while, he took out a small seal.

In the Han Dynasty, the emperor and the queen mother had seals, but the princess did not have a matching object, only a private seal representing her identity.

"General Cao, I will give this to you. If necessary, I can also send out my personal guards, or even lead the team myself."

Cao Ang accepted the former with a smile.

But the latter made him shake his head.

Are you kidding me?

From Dongjun to Shanggu County, one needs to pass diagonally through the entire vast Jizhou, and then through half of Youzhou before reaching Jundu Mountain in the middle.

The distance is more than a mile and a half!

Not only was it time-consuming and long-lasting, but it was also extremely unsafe along the way. Her Royal Highness was able to travel back and forth in the Heluo area before, but that did not mean that she could also travel freely in Jizhou.

What if something happened?

Wouldn't that make Cao Ang regretful?

Therefore, he firmly refused to do so.

"His Royal Highness's bodyguards can accompany you, but Your Highness, your rich body, should stay in Puyang City."



The tokens of three important members have been collected.

Cao Ang originally thought that it was almost done here, and was about to pack things away.

Suddenly a soft voice came from my ears.

"Well...General Cao, I also have a seal here. I wonder if it can be used?"

Wait to look back.

The person who spoke was surprisingly Tang Ji who had been standing aside. Except for the crying scene she had with the princess before, she had no words.

This little girl usually has a low sense of presence.

It's not that she hides in the house like Yin, but actively participates in interpersonal interactions, but most of the time she stays aside and doesn't speak.

It is such a complex of contradictions.

At this moment, Cao Ang looked at Tang Ji, who looked graceful, soft and gentle.

After being stunned for two seconds.

Then he suddenly woke up.

Then he quickly showed a smile on his face, nodded one after another and said: "Your Highness is the imperial concubine. If you have the token certificate, it will naturally come in handy."

Tang Ji nodded.

Then he handed Cao Ang a small jade seal.

"My grandfather once served as Sikong in the DPRK. This seal belongs exclusively to him. From Lu Ziqian's perspective, he should know it at a glance."



At the same time Cao Ang took the seal and put it away.

Tang Ji was also silent, quietly looking at this young and handsome man with her eyes.

Although there is no over-the-top relationship between the two, the strange thing is that Tang Ji is the one among many women who knows more about Cao Ang's secrets.

I even saw and heard with my own eyes Cao Ang and the Queen Mother playing tricks of dancing with guns and sticks, and arguing with each other.

Before, Tang Ji had always wanted to protect the face of the royal family surnamed Liu, so she planned to destroy the relationship between Cao Ang and the Queen Mother many times.

But given her identity and situation, she couldn't come up with any effective solution.

As time goes by, I can only stop thinking.

Just pretend that you don't know about this and let the queen mother and General Cao go.

Although she had experienced the scene during the Chinese New Year, where four women were in a scene and Cao Ang kicked her in the thigh, it rekindled her fighting spirit for a while.

But such a long time passed.

This fighting spirit has cooled down again...

Now think about it, what's wrong with letting General Cao and his mother maintain the relationship they have now?

Just because General Cao treats himself and others so sincerely and spares no effort to help His Majesty, it is enough to get his most sincere blessing.

certainly.

The premise is that the Queen Mother and General Cao continue to maintain underground activities instead of becoming public and bold.



After getting the seal of approval from several people.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Ang naturally said goodbye to the Queen Mother and others.

And perhaps it was because Cao Ang solved the problem of finding a good teacher for his son.

So before going out.

Taking advantage of the gap that the others were unaware of.

The Queen Mother quietly said in Cao Ang's ear: "You young man, you still take things seriously. Even if the matter of Yue'er is over, come to my room tonight!"

He Ying took the initiative to expose this matter.

It also means that the previous quarrel with Cao Ang has been completely resolved.

After Cao Ang heard the Queen Mother's words, an ambiguous smile suddenly appeared on his face.

But soon he followed the pace of Princess Liu Ping and hid himself in an instant.



After informing the Queen Mother and others about sending Cao Ang out of the mansion, the two of them set foot on the bluestone path one after another.

I walked a few dozen steps.

As soon as I left the backyard.

Liu Ping speeded up a bit and walked side by side with Cao Ang. Then she lowered her voice and asked quietly.

"General Cao, it seems that you have identified Bian'er and are planning to put him on the throne again in the future?"

I heard the princess ask.

Cao Ang nodded in affirmation without hesitation.

"The person who is staying in Chang'an City at the moment is, after all, the traitor Dong who caused trouble and forcibly helped him up. His reputation is not upright and his words are inconsistent."

"If there is no other suitable candidate, then there is nothing wrong with him still being the emperor."

"It's just that now that there is a better choice, it is better to completely eliminate the bad influence left by Thief Dong and re-establish the majesty of the Emperor."

Liu Ping nodded slightly when he heard this.

"I understand, just as the general said!"

For Princess Wannian.

The safety of the Han Dynasty, the longevity of the country and the country, and whether the world can be peaceful.

These issues have the highest priority.

As for who is sitting on the emperor's throne, as long as it is not Liu Ping herself, it does not make much difference to any of the other brothers.

In her opinion, the left and right were just tool men to ensure the stability of the country and the continuation of the Han Dynasty.

If Liu Bian can do it, then Liu Bian can do it. But if Liu Bian can't do it, Liu Xie will have no problem. They are both of her father's blood anyway. If Liu Xie had been here just now, she would still be sincere and full of sister-sister love. deep.

Since he had chosen Cao Ang, the loyal minister who protected the Han Dynasty and turned the tide, he decided that his younger brother Liu Bian was more suitable to be the emperor.

Then other people naturally don’t have to think about it anymore.



After leaving the mansion.

Cao Ang held a few seals in his arms, but for a moment he felt a little troubled.

The words to persuade Lu Zhi and the credentials to win his trust have been prepared.

Who to send to deliver such a letter became another issue that Cao Ang needed to consider.

Originally, he was more interested in Xu Jing.

But sending a message to Lu Zhi this time is no different than sending him to find Mi Heng before. There are still many dangers during the process, and it is best to go with someone who is capable of fighting.

Secondly, Lu Zhi stays with his student Gongsun Zan. Although he is still in seclusion, no one knows whether he may be invited by Gongsun Zan to come out.

So you have to act quickly.

Invite people in as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if it is delayed for a long time, accidents may easily occur.

Even in Cao Ang's memory, Lu Zhi, one of the three generals in the late Han Dynasty and a powerful man with both civil and military skills, did not seem to have lived until the Jian'an period.

Anyway, just in the past few years.

Don't know when he died.

If you move slowly, you will be late.

By the time they arrived at Jundu Mountain, Lu Zhi was already seriously ill. So wouldn't all the previous efforts have been in vain?

Therefore, the person who delivers the letter is very important.

For a while, Cao Ang didn't know who to send. If it didn't work, how about asking Xu Jing to bring more troops?

This problem troubled Cao Ang a little.

But unexpectedly, it was properly resolved at noon the next day.



In the county government office.

There were two people sitting in a row.

One of them is wearing armor, neatly dressed, and has a strong body, but has a rather elegant look on his face.

This person is Zhang Liao, Cao Ang's general.

The other person sitting next to Zhang Liao was a majestic man who was slightly shorter in stature, but still had a strong aura.

Except for the two people sitting there.

Kneeling on the ground was a man who was tied up with five flowers. His mouth was tightly stuffed with linen to prevent him from committing suicide or opening his mouth.

"Da da da……"

There was a sound of steady and powerful footsteps.

Cao Ang, wearing a dark black robe, immediately appeared in front of the two of them. Before they could speak, Cao Ang took the initiative to ask.

"Wenyuan, did you encounter some trouble on the road or something urgent? Why did you lead your troops to leave for only a few days and then suddenly return to Puyang?"

Cao Ang was puzzled by Zhang Liao's appearance.

After all, he had previously arranged for Zhang Liao to go to the northern part of Dongjun to clean up bandits and train his troops while suppressing the bandits.

As a result, I was out for only a few days.

It is estimated that they have not even reached Weiguo County.

Hence this question.



After Zhang Liao led the man behind him, he bowed to Cao Ang.

Then he took two steps forward, pulled up the man who was kneeling on the ground, and moved the hair that was scattered in front of his forehead, revealing the man's face.

"General, the reason why my subordinates returned halfway is because of this person. Why don't you find out who he is?"

Cao Ang blinked curiously.

After observing carefully for a few seconds.

"Snapped!"

As if suddenly awakened, he slapped his hands fiercely.

"Zhang Rao!"

"Isn't this the commander-in-chief Zhang Rao who escaped when I defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Linqiu County?"

Seeing that Cao Ang recognized this person.

Zhang Liao immediately showed a smile on his face.

"General Mingjian, it is this person!"

Cao Ang became interested now.

First, he confirmed again and again that this guy looked exactly like the man he had observed from a distance on the upper floor of Linqiu County.

Then he asked with interest.

"Wen Yuan, how did you catch this man? Could it be that he was among the bandits and was picked up by you on your march?"

Zhang Liao shook his head.

Then he led another, slightly shorter man in front of him.

"Reporting to the general, the ability to capture this man was not due to the efforts of my subordinates, but all to the credit of this strong man!"



There is no need for Cao Ang to ask questions.

Zhang Liao took the initiative to introduce him.

"This strong man's surname is Lejin, and his nickname is Wenqian. He is from Weiguo County in this county. He has gathered more than a hundred clan members in the county, and he can be regarded as an expert."

"After my subordinates defeated Puyang City, they led the army all the way to the northeast. Just after they crossed the river, they happened to meet Wen Qian near Weiguo County."

"Out of caution, my subordinates led their men to stop the team. It was only later that we learned that Wen Qian had brought his troops to surrender to the general, and among them was this prisoner of the Yellow Turban Qushuai."

As Zhang Liao's words fell.

Cao Ang was suddenly a little surprised.

He looked at the man beside Zhang Liao with some surprise.

Is this guy Le Jin?
