Although this place cannot be compared with the vastness of Mobei, it has a different style.
Ten miles south, there is a hill.
The mountain is not high, even less than 100 meters. The plains at the foot of the mountain are half a person tall, and you can see groups of cattle and sheep from time to time.
Like Hongze, the aquatic plants around Lian County are not considered rich and beautiful.
But the problem is that most of those fertile pastures are occupied by powerful tribes. Those small tribes can't compete with the big tribes at all, so they wander around looking for places suitable for nomadic life. Under the small hill, there live a group of less than a hundred people.
A small tribe. Cai Yan, mother and son, temporarily lived in this small tribe.
Although he moved out of the barracks, Jia Kui did not dare to neglect it at all.
Not to mention that Cai Yan was personally named by Cao Cao, just because she was Cai Yong's daughter, it was enough to make Jia Kui respect her. Although Cai Yong died, his reputation still existed. Jia Kui and Cai Yong had no relationship.
But there is also a sense of respect.
He sent a group of soldiers to protect Cai Yan's mother and son.
Although the leader of the small tribe was not sure about Cai Yan's identity, he did not dare to show any signs of slacking off.
They are like rootless duckweeds on the grassland, and they have no backing.
Now there are more than a thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Lian County, and they have gradually become a force. If small tribes want to continue to survive in Lian County, they must rely on each other. It is not easy to find a good place to station. Although the pastoral fields around Lian County are not large, they are also small.
It is not as plump as Hongsha Gang, Hongze, and Xiutu Ze, but it is enough for these people to live a stable and stable life.
Therefore, Cai Yan, mother and son will not suffer too much injustice here...
On the edge of the tribe, there are several small tents.
Cai Yan's mother and son lived here.
It was late afternoon, and the warm autumn sun shone on my body, making me feel warm and very comfortable.
The wind blows from the direction of Shizuishan Pass, stirring the pastures and undulating them like waves, forming a very unique scenery.
Cai Yan put on a cloth skirt, pulled up her hair, and did a very casual bun.
Sitting outside the small tent, she was washing clothes. In the distance, Adiguai and Ameiguai were playing, and their laughter echoed in the sky.
"Auntie, someone is coming over there."
Ameiguai suddenly shouted. Cai Yan raised her head, wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, wiped her hands on the cloth skirt in front of her, and stood up. She narrowed her eyes and followed the direction of Ameiguai's finger.
Looking over, he saw a group of people approaching from far away. The leader was a young man. He jumped off the horse eight feet away and looked extremely strong. He was dressed in white clothes, with long hair in a bun.
Dai Lunjin is equipped with a four-foot-long waist knife under his ribs.
"Adiguai, Ameiguai, come here."
Cai Yan shouted quickly, and the two children immediately ran over and stood beside Cai Yan.
Several soldiers also came out of the small tent. When they saw the soldiers and horses approaching in the distance, they took a few steps forward and stood in awe with their hands lowered.
"Master Cai, how is Shangan?"
Cao Peng urged his horse forward, picked up the reins more than ten steps away from Cai Yan, and dismounted.
"General Cao, you are fine."
Cai Yan led the two children forward and gave Cao Peng a slight blessing.
Cao Peng quickly stretched out his hand to stop Cai Yan from saluting.
"Master Cai, I am busy with military affairs, so I have neglected your mother and son. Please forgive me."
"General Cao, you're welcome. It's Cai Yan's willfulness. If he stays here, he will inevitably have many things to trouble the general in the future."
This bitch seemed to have guessed Cao Peng's intention, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she blocked Cao Peng's way to persuade her to return to the Central Plains. I will definitely stay! You see, I have already said this, so don't stop.
Advise me to return to Xudu...
Cao Peng scratched his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"See General Cao soon."
Cai Yan lowered his head and gave instructions to brother and sister Adiguai.
Adiguai raised his head and puffed out his chest, showing a wary look.
On the contrary, Ameiguai stepped forward very politely and saluted Cao Peng, but Cao Peng stopped him. Then he picked her up and asked with a smile: "Amaiguai, are you still used to being here? Are you very well-behaved?"
"Amaiguai has always been very good."
"Hahaha, just be good, just be good."
As Cao Peng spoke, he held Ameiguai in his arms and said to Cai Yan, "Everyone Cai, let's go into the tent and talk."
"Ah... look at me, I'm rude!" Cai Yan quickly stepped aside to make way and asked Cao Peng to take a seat in the small tent. "Jia Sima, please come in and sit down too."
"Oh, that's not necessary. The general has some things to tell Yu Qiuben."
Yu Qiuben is the leader of this small tribe.
This small tribe belongs to the Xianbei species. It was once a large tribe on the grassland in its early years, but was later defeated by a hostile tribe and fled to Hexi to settle down. This is not so much a tribe as a family. All members are
A member of the family, Jia Kui approached Qiu Ben, and it turned out to be an excuse. He knew that Cao Peng and Cai Yan had something to say, so it was not convenient for him to get involved. As for Qiu Ben, he heard that Jia Kui was coming and was already waiting for him.
Cao Peng waved his hand and signaled Jia Kui to go about his business.
He held Ameiguai in his arms and walked into the small tent. He saw that the furnishings in the small tent were extremely simple.
A floor couch occupied almost half of the tent. It was covered with some old first floor mats and two long tables were placed on it.
Under the couch, there was a shelf with only a few pieces of clothing on it.
Cai Yan took out a half-worn mat from the corner and said with some embarrassment: "General Cao, we have just settled down and it is a bit rough. General, please don't take offense."
Looking at the extremely charming woman in front of him, Cao Peng could hardly imagine that this was the famous Cai Wenji. In his opinion, Cai Wenji at this time was more like a housewife and a yellow-faced woman. He took off his boots
, walked up to the couch, sat down on the mat, and said softly: "Master Cai, why are you here?"
"Um?"
"Actually, you don't have to worry about your child suffering.
Sikong cares about you very much, and many people also miss the Cai family... Who in Xudu would dare to bully your mother and son?"
Cai Yan's face changed, and his pink cheeks twitched slightly.
"General Cao, they don't say it, but deep down, they look down on my mother and son.
When I was in Shentuze, I often missed my hometown... It was okay for me to be wronged, but Adiguai and Amigai... I didn't want them to live in such an environment. I just hope that they would be happy all their lives.
"
Cao Peng, silent!
After a while, he sighed and said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. Cai has already made his point, Cao will not be verbose. It's just that the conditions in Hexi are not as good as Xu, but Mr. Cai has been wronged.
...If you need anything, just say it. As long as it is within my ability, I will try my best to solve it. Please don't be polite, Cai."
Cai Yan laughed!
"General Cao, there's no need to be polite.
Cai Yan is not an inexperienced woman, she will take good care of herself. But just now the general said, if you need anything, just say it, but I don't know if you take it seriously?"
Cao Peng's heart skipped a beat when he looked at the woman in front of him who was dressed in commoner clothes but had a beautiful smile.
"Of course I take it seriously...but if it goes beyond Cao's ability, I'm afraid..."
"I understand, I understand!"
Cai Yan stood up with a smile, walked off the couch, took out a clay pot, and filled Cao Peng with a bowl of kumiss.
"I do have something to do, and I want to trouble the general."
Cao Peng said: "What's the matter?"
Cai Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "To be honest with the general, Adiguai has grown up. If he were in the Central Plains, he would be studying at this age. But you also know that he could not be found when he was in Shen Tuze.
With the guidance of a famous teacher, I can teach him how to read, but after all, his knowledge is limited... I hope Adiguai can get the general's teachings."
"ah?"
Cao Peng was stunned. He looked at Cai Yan and was speechless for a long time.
Do you still have limited knowledge?
The famous Cai Wenji is a talented woman who can play all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a famous talented woman in history. It is estimated that throughout the five thousand years of Chinese history, there are not many women who are more talented and learned than you. You actually asked me to teach your son?
Cao Peng was stunned, but Cai Wenji looked expectant.
"Aniang, I don't want him to teach me. I want Aniang to teach me."
Adi stood up in a hurry, jumped on his feet and shouted loudly.
Cai Yan's face sank, "Adiguai, don't mess around... General Cao is one of the most famous people in the Central Plains, and his articles have been spread all over the world. It is your blessing to be taught by General Cao. If you continue to do this
It's rude, don't blame grandma for taking care of her."
It can be seen that Adiguai is very filial.
As soon as Cai Yan turned his face, he immediately became quiet.
However, this does not mean that he is willing to accept Cao Peng as his teacher.
"General Cao, I have studied the general's elementary school and admire him very much.
Although this kid Adiguai is rude, he is not bad-hearted. It’s just that he has lived in Mobei for a long time, and it is inevitable that he has become a little more barbaric. If there is no one who understands the importance of right and wrong, he will definitely be killed in the future. Please also ask
The general has mercy."
As he spoke, Cai Yan stood up and knelt down in front of Cao Peng.
Ameiguai obediently walked forward and knelt in front of Cao Peng together with Cai Yan.
"Adiguai, come here and kneel down."
"mother……"
"If you don't obey me, don't call me A Niang in the future."
This sentence is quite serious.
Although Adigai was unwilling to do so, he could not go against Cai Yan's will and knelt in front of Cao Peng unwillingly.
Cao Peng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
Poor parents in the world! The moment Cai Yan knelt down, Cao Peng suddenly understood her painstaking efforts...
Adigai is the son of Liu Bao, and Cai Yan certainly does not want her children to be compared with those Huns. She would rather abandon Xu Du's comfortable life and stay in Hexi, just hoping that her children can have a relaxed environment
.However, if you leave the Central Plains for a long time, the friendship between those old friends will gradually fade away.
In the future, when Adiguai grows up, he cannot stay here all his life.
By then, he will need someone to support him.
In Cai Yan's view, Cao Peng in front of him is undoubtedly the best candidate. If the teacher-student relationship between Cao Peng and Adiguai can be established, even if he goes to the Central Plains in the future, there will be someone to protect him, which is better than being ignored by others.
and bullying.
He looked at Cai Yan, and then at Adiguai who looked reluctant...
Cao Peng scratched his head and gave a wry smile: "If everyone in Cai is not afraid that Cao will mislead his children, then I will accept this matter." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(*
