My Family Marquis

In late spring, peaches and apricots wither.

The crimson pink and white sprinkled on the ground, adding a little bit of melancholy.

In February of the fourth year of Jian'an, the war in Youzhou came to an end. After Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, he occupied Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, and his strength soared. He had hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers and thousands of soldiers under his command. In addition, the bumper harvest in Jizhou in the third year of Jian'an also eased the shortage of money and grain, which was sufficient for the army. Therefore, Yuan Shao used his eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and his nephew Gao Gan to defend Qingzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou. He led the governor of Jizhou and expanded his troops in the name of a great Han general, and stared at Cao Cao.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao should have panicked.

But when the green plum wine was brewed that day, Cao Peng's words made Cao Cao feel like he was seeing the sun with a clear cloud.

Yuan Shao, what's the point?

However, Liu Bei actually escaped from the pursuit of the tiger and leopard cavalry, making Cao Cao feel like he was choking. He remembered Cao Peng's words that day: Jin Lin is not an object in the pond, but he will turn into a dragon when he encounters wind and clouds. Where is Liu Bei's "storm and clouds" now? If he cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, once he turns into a dragon, he will become a confidant. But Cao Cao had to admit that Liu Bei was slippery like a loach, which made it difficult to deal with.

This guy is very alert and has a strong affinity.

Now he has been awarded the title of the emperor's uncle, which has made his reputation soar...

Cao Cao ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to chase and kill, which made many people in the court dissatisfied with him. What's more, he launched a direct attack in the court.

These people have ulterior motives!

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more regretful he felt. He used to only care about respecting the wise and the poor, but he didn't think it was a disaster for raising a tiger.

During Xia Pi, Cao Peng had a conflict with Liu Bei because of robbing grain, so he should have taken the opportunity to deal with Liu Bei; later Liu Bei contacted Zhang Liao privately and could also take the opportunity to attack.

He was merciful for a moment and even made the big-eared thief escape.

It made Liu Bei's brothers famous in vain: Liu Bei became the emperor's uncle, and Guan Yu became famous because of his killing Lu Bu...

I am really bound by myself!

However, not all are bad things.

Yuan Shu was surviving in Shouchun and could no longer resist the situation. Sun Ce was in Jiangdong and was eyeing him... At the beginning of the year, he captured Danyang and surrendered the general Taishi Ci; then wiped out Yan Baihu, seized Wucheng, and killed the former Wu County prefect Xu Gong. Soon, Sun Ce designed and captured Lujiang. At this point, all the six counties in Jiangdong were under Sun Ce's hands, and their momentum became increasingly great, and he launched an attack on Yuan Shu.

Nowadays, Yuan Shu can be said to be betrayal of his relatives.

The generals under his command have no power to die, and those who have surrendered have no power.

So, Yuan Shu ordered people to surrender to Yuan Shao. He and Yuan Shao were brothers, but one was born in the legitimate family and the other was born in the illegitimate family, but they had some family affection. Yuan Shu expressed his willingness to surrender Yuan Shao and presented the imperial seal. Yuan Shao then ordered his nephew, senior official, to lead his troops in Qingzhou to support Yuan Shu.

Although Yuan Shao expressed his willingness to accept Yuan Shu, if Yuan Shu thought of Qingzhou, he had to pass through Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao could not help him during this journey, so he could only rely on himself. So Yuan Shu led his troops to leave Huainan and advance towards Qingzhou. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao received the news and immediately sent General Zhang Liao, the general of the Central Army, to lead the troops and horses of the White Horses to guard the White Horses, and to work with Li Dian, the prefect of Li Hu, to restrain the troops of the senior officials. At the same time, he ordered Deng Ji, the commander of the Haixi military field, and Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, to send troops to ambush Yuan Shu's troops.

After Deng Ji received the order, at the end of February, he sent Quyang Chang Pan Zhang and Haixi Wei Zhou Cang to lead troops to attack. At the same time, Chen Deng also sent Dongyang Chang Chen Jiao and Pan and Zhou two to join forces to attack Yuan Shu in Tong County, causing Yuan Shu to be defeated and left, and finally had to retreat to Shouchun again.

There was a man under Yuan Shu, named Xu Yu, whose courtesy name was Meng Yu.

This person was a child of the Xu family in Haixi. His father, Xu Shu, was once a general of Liao. When Xu Xuan was young, he was known for his erudition. Later, he was conscripted and appointed as a filial and honest mansion. Later, Xu Xuan was promoted to the governor of Jingzhou. The governor at that time was far from the current governor's power.

At that time, Empress Dowager Dong's nephew Zhang Zhong was the prefect of Nanyang and was greedy for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Xu Yu wanted to punish Zhang Zhong for his crimes, and Empress Dowager Dong immediately sent the Zhongchang Shi to plead with Xu Yu.

But Xu Yan refused... Empress Dowager Dong was furious and immediately appointed Zhang Zhong as the Si Li Captain, trying to threaten Xu Yan. However, Xu Yan was not afraid at all. After taking office, he impeached Zhang Zhong. Later, due to Zhang Zhong's incident, the prefect of five counties was dismissed from office. Xu Yan became famous and praised by the world.

In the first year of Zhongping, Xu Yan and the Central Army General Zhu Jun joined forces to defeat the Yellow Turban Thief in Wancheng.

However, he was punished and dismissed from office because of offending the eunuch. When Emperor Han moved the capital to Xu County, he once appointed Xu Yu as the chief of the Tingwei. Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped by Yuan Shu on his way to his post. Yuan Shu wanted to be appointed as the throne of Xu Yu, but was forced to death by Xu Yu, and Yuan Shu did not dare to force him.

When Yuan Shu was defeated in Tong County, Xu Yu stole the imperial seal and came to Xudu.

The return of the jade seal also made Cao Cao's orthodox name even more prominent, and it was also a happy event in the fourth year of Jian'an.

After Cao Cao entertained Xu Yu, he felt a little tired, so he took a break at home. In the afternoon, he held his son Cao Chong and wrote and painted in the study, wanting to teach Cao Chong to learn to read. Although Cao Chong was only two years old, his talent was still above Cao Zhi, the fourth son of Cao Cao.

Holding a book of Cangjie, Cao Cao taught Cao Chong with one word at a time.

As Sikong, the Prime Minister.

Cao Cao rarely had free time to reunite with his son.

Now that the opportunity is rare, he naturally does not want to miss it. When he was happy, he suddenly heard from his servants that "Liu Ye, the young mansion, is looking for a meeting outside."

Cao Cao frowned and looked at Cao Chong who was eager to read.

"Please ask Liu Shaofu to go to the study to speak."

"Here!"

The retainer left immediately, and in a short while, Liu Ye walked into the study excitedly.

"Sikong!"

"Shh."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said to Liu Ye: "Wait until Cang Shu finishes writing this word."

Cao Chong grabbed his chubby little hand and finished drawing a word. Then he kept giggling, which made Cao Cao laugh. He hugged Cao Chong and pressed his little face with his beard. He trampled Cao Chong hard, which made Cao Chong laugh even louder.

With Cao Chong in his arms, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zi Yang, what's the matter? Look at your excited appearance."

"Sikong, I'm here today, and I'm indeed offering a gift to you."

"Tailing a gift?"

Liu Ye said: "I went to Zhuye Mansion today, but I found something good from Junshi."

"Junshi? What good things can he have? Could it be another sword?"

"No, no!"

As Liu Ye spoke, he took out the booklet from his arms and presented it to Cao Cao with both hands.

In Cao Cao's impression, Cao Ji was indeed talented, but he was a rough man after all, and even ignorant of him. It was precisely because of this that Cao Cao was still a little hesitant. Cao Ji's talent was only smelting and making swords. If he was asked to return to his ancestors, wouldn't it be a bit hasty?

After all, the Cao family in Qiao County is a family of officials.

Although it cannot be said to be a prominent family, it can be considered a top family.

If you attract such a family, Cao Cao really has to consider the interests of it.

After all, it is not a trivial matter to return to the clan and recognize ancestors. Sometimes, you can return to the clan and recognize ancestors if you are not a relative. The clan’s considerations cover all aspects.

"Eight hundred characters of text?"

Cao Cao looked at the four words on the cover and smiled slightly.

"Chao Wen Dao, Xi Ke died...well said!"

When he saw the small characters, he couldn't help but exclaim. Immediately, Cao Cao turned on the cover and exposed the title page inside...

Hi, giggle...

Cao Chong suddenly laughed.

He pointed to the picture above with tears flowing, "Cang Shu."

Then he pointed to the bearded avatar, "Dad!"

Cao Cao was so happy that he laughed endlessly. But after laughing, he read the inappropriate five-character quatrain and showed a knowing smile.

"Is it written by friends?"

“That’s right.”

Cao Cao suddenly became a little interested, so he opened it.

"The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast..."

Cao Cao began to recite loudly. But gradually, his reading voice became smaller and smaller, and a solemn look gradually appeared on his face.

"This is indeed a book written by a friend?"

"That's right!" Liu Ye said: "According to Junshi's words, Cao Duwei wrote this 800-character article in order to urge him to read. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but later I found that the 800-character words were not repeated at once. Moreover, the book was widely explored, which was a surprising and amazing text. Such words seemed easy to understand, but they were read again with a long meaning. How could the lord let go of this god-given talent?"

Cao Cao took a breath.

It is not difficult to recognize eight hundred words.

But even Cao Cao himself may not be able to do this if he combines these 800 words into a good article, and there is no repetition of a single word.

He read it carefully again and couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.

"Zi Yang, are you really sure that this is written by friends?"

"Sikong, you can't be wrong... Junshi said that Youxue copied three copies in total, which was originally in Youxue's own hands. I forced this copy from Junshi and lied to him to copy it home. But after thinking about it, I felt that I should tell Sikong first."

Cao Chong stared at the side with wide eyes and looked at the eight hundred-character text curiously.

"Dad, heaven...hong,hong..."

Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.

Cao Chong told him that he recognized the word "tian" and "hong". The world is mysterious and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric, he recognized two of them.

"Zi Yang, can you keep this book?"

"this……"

Liu Ye showed a hint of embarrassment.
