Seeing Cai Wan touching the corner of his mouth, his face suddenly darkened. Cao Cao regretted a little why he asked this question.
"No, it's nothing," Cai Wan said, "I just met a guy with a dull look -"
"Handsome little brother!" Cai Yan beside her responded.
Oops, Zhenji's face turned even darker. She didn't hit anyone with that "assembled harp"...
————
That harp was developed at the suggestion of Cai Wan after Jinan's "technology" reached a certain level. It was beautiful, sturdy, easy to carry and assemble, and had structural stability after impact.
As for the playing effect, tone and timbre...because those are the attributes that need to be paid attention to when customizing for Cai Yan, everyone invariably ignored them.
This time, the emperor suffered several rebellions under the influence of the ten permanent servants. In order to prevent his family from being affected, Cao Cao quietly returned to Luoyang with Yuan Shao and Cai Wan, planning to bring Cao Song, Cai Yong, Yuan Feng and other elders to Jinan, even if
No, we have to persuade them to leave Luoyang, a place that will inevitably cause chaos in the future. After all, the Yuan family in Runan and the Cao family in Qiao County are both based in Yuzhou, unlike the Yang family in Hongnong, who are in Sili and cannot escape.
Since Qingzhou is not yet stable, Cao Cao, in addition to the Cai sisters and Yuan Shao, only brought Dian Wei as a guard and Xi Zhicai who could make suggestions for this trip to Luoyang. Although Xu Chu also wanted to follow, his physique was too big.
Too conspicuous to carry out disguise and covert operations, and also need someone who can suppress Taishi Ci in force to guard Jinan - not that he is doubtful, but if someone uses his mother to threaten him, this filial son of Taishi
You probably won't even hesitate when it comes to drinking water.
The Xiahou brothers and Cao Chun wanted to train Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, while Li Dian and Le Jin wanted to continue recruiting ordinary troops, and Zhang Jue also had to quietly recruit Taiping Dao people who could no longer be seen in public at this time into the Qingzhou Army. The result was,
During his tenure as the Prime Minister of Jinan, he obviously added a lot of manpower, but it was still far from enough. Cao Cao lamented this.
After arriving in Luoyang, everyone was dumbfounded.
According to the Han system, the three Dukes are: Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong. There are also Taifu, Da Sima and Da Jiang known as the "Shang San Gong".
The incumbents at this time were Taiwei Cao Song, Situ Cai Yong, Sikong Yuan Feng, Taifu Yuan Wei, Grand Sima Lu Zhi, and General He Jin.
Great, the Yuan family is no longer the fourth generation and the third prince, but the fifth prince.
Although the positions of the Three Gongs were given casually and changed frequently, the two names of the Yuan family's Three Gongs would not be given up easily. Cai Yong was awarded the title of Three Gongs for revising the "Xi Ping Shi Jing", so he probably thought that was the title of the Three Gongs.
Glory, in comparison, it was the least difficult to persuade Cao Song to give up the Taiwei, who was obviously donating the money he saved when he was a farmer.
However, the result of separate attempts to persuade was that no one was persuaded.
Regarding Cao Cao's words that Luoyang and even the world would be in chaos, Yuan Wei and Yuan Feng said that they had never seen anything from the four generations and the three princes, while Cai Yong claimed that this was the time to serve the imperial court. As for Cao Song, he said that as long as
When several others were willing to leave, he also resigned immediately. The implication was probably that "this captain has not been a captain for long, and he is not going to have the pleasure of being a father anymore."
The elders refused to leave, and no matter how clever Xi Zhicai was, he could not force him. He had to try to collect evidence from all over Luoyang that the ten permanent servants were misbehaving, but the emperor knew about it but ignored it completely. If Cai Yong could be dissuaded from "serving the imperial court"
"If you think about it and persuade it, it will be easier for others who have set an example to persuade you.
The "disappeared" Dian Wei was actually assigned by Xi Zhicai to carry out such covert operations. Unexpectedly, the always well-behaved Xiao Wenji would burst into tears from time to time. Cai Wan had to take her to see Cai Yong from time to time - maybe
Is it possible to persuade him to leave faster?
"[No chance]," the "substitute" once commented: "[Even if the Shi Changshi died suddenly and everyone celebrated, the teacher would still lament the contribution they had made to the big man.]"
Yes, of course, the "substitute" also came to Luoyang together. If there is any urgent military situation, he will have to rely on him to dispatch back and forth between Luoyang and Jinan.
The "stand-in" seems to have "evolved" again. Specifically, it can hold items without them being "assimilated." However, compared with Cao Cao's own voice, there is a difference that can be noticed if you listen carefully.
Cao Cao was quite suspicious. If one day the "substitute" turned into a completely different person, could he still be called a "substitute"?
————
"Handsome little brother..." Cao Cao would not ask for trouble when he said to Cai Yan. Children should not interrupt when adults are talking, otherwise they will only be punished by the protective Cai Wan: "Let me guess, is he?
Wearing silver armor, holding a silver gun, and wearing a cloth band on his forehead?"
"It's not a cloth belt," Cai Yan corrected seriously: "It's a shiny forehead protector."
"[It is indeed Zhao Yun! Bring him back quickly!]" The "substitute" suddenly became excited.
I think so, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.
Because Shi Chang was in charge of the emperor's orders, he sent his men to act recklessly in Luoyang, which attracted many rangers to secretly confront him. However, both parties knew that their actions could not be exposed, so most of them chose to act in inaccessible places or after dark, and wore
Clothing that can hide your appearance or dark colors.
Only this young general, whom we had met several times, did the opposite. He had a silver gun and a silver armor, and acted in a high-profile manner. If he was paired with a white horse, he could definitely serve as the leader of the white horse followers of the Gongsun family.
But unfortunately, no one could catch him, and any tracking was in vain, including the "double"'s secret investigation that was almost impossible to detect.
Combined with the weird way he appeared when he came to see Cao Cao, it is obvious that he is not just invisible like a "double", but there is a real "world" to hide in, but I don't know the specific size.
"That little brother is called 'Zhao Yun'," Cao Cao said to Cai Yan with Cai Wan's murderous eyes: "If you see him again in the future, remember to bring him back to play with you."
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded repeatedly.
He had initially explored many people's ambitions, development potential and governance philosophies, but he still had not specifically worked for any party, which meant that everyone was not very satisfied with him. At this time, he could consider making off-market moves, such as..."
"Honey Trap"?
It seems that he probably took Zhenji with the crying girl as the legendary "Diao Chan" and attacked him, and then was beaten away by the furious Zhenji. Judging from his upright personality, this place should be
I owe Zhenji and Wenji an apology, so I can see him at least once in the future, as long as I use it well... the little beauty is also a beauty.
Bang! I don’t know when the assembled harp hit the coffee table at Cao Cao’s hand.
"My hands are slippery." Cai Wan calmly picked it back up.
Forget it... I didn't expect to be able to hide it from her, so Cao Cao pretended to be stupid and said: "It's not urgent to persuade the teacher. As long as evil can find enough evidence, the teacher's wisdom will definitely not lead a ship that is destined to capsize."
Shen."
"Woo... A Dian..." Cai Yan, who hadn't seen Dian Wei for several days, heard the word "evil comes" and looked like he wanted to cry again, but because of this thought, he was distracted by Zhao Yun's appearance.
It was diluted a lot, so I just sobbed without crying.
Very unusually, Cai Wan did not comfort his sister, but just stared at Cao Cao while holding the harp.
"[I guess she is saying, 'I am very angry now, you are responsible for coaxing Wenji, but you will not be able to coax her.']" The "substitute" gloated on the side.
"..." If it weren't for him to decide whether the "substitute" would appear or not, Cao Cao would definitely throw him out and give Zhen Ji a violent beating.
"Meng De! Look what I brought back!" Before Cao Cao could think of a countermeasure, Yuan Shao's excited voice came from outside the door.
The fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, oh, he is the fifth prince now, so Yuan Shao's arrival in Luoyang is no different from returning home. Well... at least he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.
It is said that because he "does not strive for advancement", the resources of the Yuan family began to be tilted towards his younger brother Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shao looked like he didn't care and even went to encourage Yuan Shu to work hard, which completely made it impossible for those who underestimated and promoted others to do anything.
.
The most important thing is that although Yuan Shu himself dislikes Yuan Shao and always speaks ill of him, if he hears other people saying bad things about Yuan Shao, he is the first one to teach him a lesson, probably "The fools of the Yuan family can only be laughed at by their own people."
"the meaning of?
Hearing Yuan Shao's noise, Cao Cao immediately thought of why he ran to Yuan's house this time - because Cai Yan always cried when he couldn't find Dian Wei, so he claimed that he was going home to find some cute animals to play with the girl and left.
.
"Wenji, don't cry," Cao Cao persuaded Cai Yan: "Your uncle Benchu brought you a cute little animal. Guess it, is it a pony, a lamb, or a puppy? A kitten? Maybe?
Is it a beautiful bird?”
"Hmm... I like things that are soft, furry, and have nice screams." Cai Yan was indeed attracted to her attention, sobbing and looking towards the main entrance of the living room.
"[...]" The "substitute" beside Cao Cao disappeared for a moment, and then reappeared with a face full of words.
"Haha! Meng De, look! I have never seen such an interesting animal!" Yuan Shao laughed and walked in from the door.
Behind him was a head covered with white down, with straight hooves, a long neck, eyes as bright as black beans, chewing something in his mouth, and a tuft of fluffy white hair on his forehead. He looked like a sheep, but his body shape was
An animal similar to a horse.
"This... what is it?" Cao Cao was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to call it.
The animal looked around at the people in the room, and finally its eyes rested on Cai Yan. It walked over, lowered its body, opened its mouth and shouted: "Chirp~ Chirp~"
"Hehe~" Cai Yan burst into laughter, hugged the animal's neck, turned over and rode up: "Let's go, let's go find A Dian!"
Cai Wan didn't hold him back, the animal had already rushed out of the room with the little girl on its back, and he could only stretch out his hands in a daze.
Cao Cao gave Yuan Shao a self-seeking look and chased him out with his "substitute".
