In Beifu, Cao Cao and Cao were bored for a while. He had a lot to do and was about to leave.
Cao Wu and others sent it out. Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you very much."
Whether it was the matter in Jingzhou or the matter in Jiaozhou, it was not something that Cao had any responsibility for, but he did it all, and even went to dangerous places personally.
There are no more words, just three words, which express the brotherly feelings.
After leaving the gate of Beifu, he returned to the world-powerful tycoon. He relied on many people, but also doubted many people. He valued both power and mental skills.
Jia Xu and Xi Lu clearly felt this change. They were silent and followed behind.
Xu Chu grinned at Cao Wu and said, "I want to go to the south with you, but it's a pity that I have to protect the lord."
Cao Wudao: "There will be many opportunities to meet again in the future. Your mission is to protect my brother. Don't be greedy for alcohol."
"Wake up!"
Xu Chu actually got into the chariot and mounted the horse himself.
Cao Cao rewarded all the ministers, and Xu Chugang was promoted from the Tiger Guard Lieutenant to the Tiger Guard Zhonglang General. His rank and salary were not high, but he was Cao Cao's most trusted person. After Chibi was assassinated, he also protected Cao Cao to the extreme. No more assassins would be able to get close to Cao Cao again.
The team of more than a dozen cars slowly headed towards Xudu. Cao Cao had not seen the emperor since his expedition in July, and now he finally wanted to take a look.
To Cao Wu's surprise, Mrs. Huan actually stayed.
"When they come back, I will go to Yecheng together."
Mrs. Huan had a warm smile and looked at Cao Wu with kindness.
Cao Ashi, the maid of Beifu, saved Cao Chong's life. Although she failed to cure his stubborn illness, she made him recover from his illness.
If you take good care of yourself in the future, Cao Chong will also have that opportunity.
Although he was only a concubine, he was Cao Cao's favorite son.
Later, Zhuge Liang gave Huan Liang advice and allowed Sima Yi to die, which dealt a huge blow to Cao Pi's power.
For these two things, Mrs. Huan wanted to thank Cao Wu.
She wanted to say a few more words to Cao Wu, but Cao Wu stopped being polite and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't forget to remind Chong'er when you get back. Don't forget what I told him."
In front of the Chibi camp, Cao Wu told Cao Chong to go back and warn his two brothers. Now it seems that he didn't go at all.
Now it seems that this child prodigy who is the same age as Deng Ai is not as innocent as he appears on the outside.
Probably since he got better, he had his own plans.
Three Cao Cao seized the throne, Cao Wu sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.
So Cao Cao only arranged for Ah Jiu and others to take care of Mrs. Huan, and he didn't say much to her. Mrs. Huan was a little disappointed, but she immediately talked happily with Ah Jiu and exchanged some secrets.
On the same day, everyone in Beifu knew that Cao Wu was leaving again, to a place further away than last time. All the maids looked sad, and Ah Jiu's eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn't use the new things she had learned.
Ah Qi even ignored the tradition of one person being on duty every day and came over to serve Cao Wu.
Today, Ah Ba, the most skilled and annoying person in Beifu, was on duty. When he saw her coming, his face turned red and he stepped aside.
Ah Qi said: "Why don't you take me with you? I heard that Ah Ba will also take him with you!"
"Aba is going to Jingzhou to open a wine shop, what are you going to do?"
"I……"
Ah Qi thought about it and realized that this time when he went south, he didn't feel any changes in the sky, so he thought there shouldn't be any danger.
On the contrary, when Sima Yi died a few days ago, the celestial phenomena changed greatly, but the celestial phenomena immediately recovered, and Ah Qi did not receive a tribute.
"I can serve you! I've just perfected my technique!"
What Ah Qi said made Ah Ba's face drip with water. After all, not everyone can say it like her.
Cao Wu was also stunned.
In the end, under Cao Wu's hard work, Ah Qi was finally put to bed and agreed not to follow.
The next day, when Ah Qi and Ah Ba left the house at the same time, they were caught by their eldest sister Diao Chan.
Diao Chan looked at them both with a half-smile but not a smile. Ah Ba turned around and ran away. Ah Qi straightened her posture, and soon her aura weakened and said: "Sister, I also want to go to the south. The general said that those places are still there now. This smoky land will become very prosperous in the future. I want to know how prosperous it is."
Diao Chan patted her belly and said, "Whenever you succeed, you can go wherever you want."
Ah Qi blushed at what she said, hid her face and left.
Diao Chan then entered the room and lay down in the warm quilt, thinking that there were three people last night, her face turned red.
She thought again that she would not be able to let these little girls act recklessly in the future, and her iron-clad body was exhausted. Then she thought about who would get pregnant first.
According to the rules of the Bei Mansion, those under the age of eighteen are not considered adults, but not every adult maid can serve in bed. Ah San, Ah Si, and Ah Liu have never done so, and neither does Ah Er, whom she likes the most. The sisters after Ah Shi are all still young. Even Ah Qi and Ah Jiu haven't reached adulthood very long. I wonder who can continue the legacy of Beifu first.
Just as he was thinking about it, Cao Wu had already returned from performing a set of Five Animals.
"Let's go."
"Um."
…
In an inconspicuous corner of Beifu, Lu Xun said goodbye to the door of the small courtyard.
The people inside still didn't open the door to see him.
"Mother, I am going to Jiaozhou with my ambition. However, I may encounter old friends from Jiangdong eventually, and I really don't know what choice to make."
Lu Xun had a trace of confusion in his eyes.
A dignified female voice came from the courtyard: "You live up to Jiangdong, it was Jiangdong who failed you, so go ahead."
Lu Xun sighed softly, turned and left.
After he left, the woman in the courtyard quietly opened the door and came to the small slope to look toward the east of the river.
This place is thousands of miles away from Jiangdong, so where can we see anything?
…
According to Han rules, the head of a large county is called a county magistrate, and a small county is called a county magistrate. Dupang County, where Zhuge Liang is going, has not had any correspondence with the court for decades, and it is not even known how many people there are in the county.
Zhuge Liang went to Xudu to receive official documents and met Xun Yu at the Chancellery.
Logically speaking, the appointment of a minor official like him did not require Xun Yu to come to see him in person. However, relying on Cao Wu's face, Xun Yu still told him a lot of experience in governing the place.
Zhuge Liang said: "Jiuzhen County is in the hands of the barbarians, and is blocked by Shi Xie and Wu Juxiang. Your Majesty should know that I, as the county magistrate, may not actually be able to take office."
Xun Yu shook his head and said: "General Beifu's expectations for you are probably more than just one county."
Xun Yu was twenty years older than Zhuge Liang, but he regarded Zhuge Liang as his old friend. He spoke highly of him and almost gave him everything he had to teach him, as if he was handing over something.
Xun Yu had been stationed in the rear for Cao Cao for many years and was the best at this. Zhuge Liang learned a lot from him, which is not in the books.
Finally, Zhuge Liang got the document of appointment as magistrate of Dupang County. He took the document and more than a dozen servants and relatives to the south to take up the post.
Cao Wu, Lu Xun, Zhang Xia, as well as Diao Chan, Ah San, Ah Wu, and Ah Ba are all among their relatives. Among them, Ah Ba will stop in Jingzhou to spread the business of the wine shop, and Ah Wu will go to meet Zhao Yan. Reconciliation.
Beifu's aid to Shangshutai has been stopped, and then there is targeted aid to Jingzhou, especially Jiangxia, which was the most severely affected by the disaster. Ah Wu knows the accounts very well. With her here, no one can try to embezzle a penny of the disaster funds.
Cao Wu went south from Xudu to Nanyang County this time, but it was different from the one he came here for the Battle of Chibi.
The last time I came, I saw almost no pedestrians along the way. All along the way were soldiers rushing to the front line and civilians transporting luggage.
This time, there was already a business team on the official road. Goods from the north were transported to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou's specialties were also transported to the south.
The war is over and everything is returning to normal.
Zhao Yan, the governor of Jingzhou, is indeed working seriously.
Cao Wu and others said they were relatives, but in fact they were all traveling south on horseback, which was very fast. Otherwise, if they had taken a car, Liu Bei would have run away by the time they reached Jiaozhou.
It only took them two days to reach Fankou. Cao Wu learned that the new Jiaozhou Muman Chong had already taken the lead in going south.
"He is actually faster than me. It seems he doesn't want to see me."
Cao Wu laughed at himself. A righteous man like Man Chong would naturally hate to see an arrogant and domineering second generation ancestor like him.
Cao Wunan moved Manchong to Jiaozhou, which was a matter of killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, the power of favoring was very strong, and Runan's governance was excellent. If he could really control Jiaozhou, it would be a blessing for the people of Jiaozhou.
On the other hand, the climate in Jiaozhou is hot and humid, so Man Chong will suffer a lot.
On the third day, they arrived in Xiangyang. Zhao Yan's messenger arrived and said that he would hold a banquet for Cao Wu, but Cao Wu refused.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, two local gangsters, also wanted to see Cao Wu, but they were also rejected.
On the fourth day, a cavalry team arrived first and caught up with Cao Wu and others.
It is a well-equipped cavalry team. Each cavalry has two horses. It looks even more powerful than the elite tiger and leopard cavalry in the world.
The leader was a general in his thirties, with no beard and a very capable person.
As soon as the man saw Cao Wu, he got off his horse and saluted: "Wen Lie has met my uncle!"
Cao Wuli turned his horse around, nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out that the Cao family's Thousand Mile Horse is here."
