Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 158 The general will not abandon the humble, you are willing to do your best, and die! 【Big chapter asks for subscription】

After such a long time.

Feeling that Dong Bai's mood gradually calmed down.

Only then did Cao Ang hold her head with both hands, and held up her face buried in his chest.

Compared to when Cao Ang left Luoyang City.

At this moment, Dong Bai's chubby little face seemed to have become a bit thinner, and even his chin outlined a slightly sharp angle.

Her skin was still as white as snow, soft and white as jade, delicate and smooth, it could be said that she could be broken by blows, and against the backdrop of the black robe, she looked even more glamorous and charming.

It's a pity that because of hiding here for many days in a row, both emotional and material conditions are very poor, resulting in the slight rosiness on the face that has always been there, but at this time it quietly disappeared.

Fortunately, a pair of autumn moon-like eyes are still extremely moist, sometimes bursting with a lively light, but the surroundings of the eyes are slightly red, and there are still a few teardrops in the corners of the eyes that have not yet dried up.

Bai Teeth bit her lower lip lightly.

The plump lip meat was bitten down slightly, like a tender and juicy big red cherry, who had gently bit off a small bite.

The small and delicate Qiong nose twitches from time to time as the owner's mood fluctuates.

The end is extremely cute.

It looks like this.

Cao Ang couldn't help scratching her nose lightly, which caused Dong Bai to raise his eyebrows slightly and stare slightly.

And as Cao Ang's gaze moved down.

However, it was a pity to find that Dong Bai was wrapped in a black robe, which was particularly spacious compared to the young lady's figure.

Therefore, the whole person is shrouded tightly.

Apart from the snow-white and slender neck and the delicate and perfect collarbone, nothing else can be seen.

Cao Ang couldn't help curling his lips.

And this action seemed to be discovered by Dong Bai.

Dong Bai, who was still immersed in his emotions, couldn't help but lightly thumped Cao Ang's shoulder.

"Dengtuzi, where are you looking?"

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment.

Then he replied lightly with a smile on his face: "I'm studying the floor tiles in my home, not to mention, the style is exquisite and the pattern is exquisite!"

A familiar conversation.

It seemed that the two of them were pulled back to the appearance when they met for the second time in Dong Zhuo's mansion in Luoyang City in an instant, which caused ripples in one's heart.

Although the time and place have changed now, some things will not change.

……

"Xiaobai, according to the information I got, after your grandfather left Luoyang, he will go to Chang'an next. If you decide not to leave with him, then it may be difficult to see you again."

Chang'an is in the hinterland of Guanzhong.

It is very far away from the Kanto area.

If no one specially brought Dong Bai with him, it would be very difficult to see Dong Zhuo again.

So words.

The little girl couldn't help but startled.

His thoughts seemed to fly to nowhere in an instant, and it took a long while.

Dong Bai shook his head firmly.

"My grandfather's changes made me feel very strange. His various actions made me a little scared. Although his old man still loves me as before, the many actions in the past few months really make me terrified."

"I know what he did was wrong, and it can even be said to be very bad, but there is nothing I can do. No words of mine are enough to change my grandfather's wishes."

"Since this is the case, instead of staying by his side and living a life of powerlessness and torture, it is better to stay away early now."

Words and words.

Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh accordingly.

As Dong Bai said, on the premise that she is powerless to change anything, she continues to witness Dong Zhuo's behavior all day long. After a long time, there may be two results.

Either numb, get used to this kind of life, and gradually become cold-blooded.

Or go crazy!
Neither of these two outcomes was what Cao Ang wanted to see, so he strongly supported Dong Bai's decision.

Anyway, it was the same as he had thought.

Redeem this little girl who has not participated in any dirty things of Dong Zhuo, and has not been stained with blood.

As for Dong Zhuo himself.

Love dies where dies.

In the future, maybe I will kill that fat black man with my own hands, and eliminate a great harm for the common people in this world.

……

"Miss, since you won't leave with Mr. Dong, where are you going next?"

Cao Ang asked knowingly.

Obviously teasing her.

But Dong Bai blinked after being stunned for a few seconds, then rolled his eyes at Cao Ang, and said angrily.

"If someone is willing to accept me, then I will go home with him. If no one is willing to accept me, then I can only wander alone."

"At that time, I will eat tree bark when I am hungry all day long, drink muddy water when I am thirsty, and sleep in the wild in the mountains. I hope that someone will not feel distressed because of this."

Such delicate and lovely words.

Cao Ang couldn't help laughing out loud.

I couldn't help but hugged Dong Bai into my arms again, and then said repeatedly: "My heart hurts, how can I not feel bad, since you are willing to stay, then leave with me, after returning home, you will be my wife! "

these words.

I don't know if it touched a certain string in the eldest lady's heart, so that after she finished listening, Cao Ang's expected reaction did not appear.

On the contrary, his gaze was like autumn water, staring at Cao Ang affectionately, his red lips parted and then closed, as if hesitating to say something to him.

After doing this three times.

Dong Baicai suddenly turned his head to one side, with half of his cheek resting on Cao Ang's chest.

Then youyou asked: "Actually, the reason why I stayed was that apart from not wanting to face my grandfather, there was another reason. Do you know why?"

Cao Ang shook his head cooperatively.

Although he couldn't see his movements, Dong Bai also guessed his answer.

So I continued on my own: "When you left Beijing, I put everything aside and asked you boldly if you would marry me when you came back."

"But now my grandfather has embarked on such a path, but you have become a member of the crusade against him. You have already stood in the opposite direction and are enemies of each other."

"If I still stay by my grandfather's side, then we will become enemies with each other, and we may not be able to get together in this life."

"This is really not what I want. I can only choose between you and my grandfather. After weighing it over and over again, I finally chose you!"

……

The tone is faint.

The tone is flat.

But to Cao Ang's ears, it was soul-stirring, with a lot of turmoil in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

position issue.

This is an unavoidable problem when people live in this society since ancient times.

His and Dong Zhuo's positions on the surface are diametrically opposed. The two regard each other as fire and water, and each regards the other as an enemy.

Although Cao Ang and Dong Zhuo were connected in private, the relationship was not as rigid as other princes.

But Dong Bai didn't know about it.

Second, the friendship in private does not affect the natural relative attitude, which is irreversible.

Unless Dong Zhuo has great ability to whitewash himself, or blacken Cao Ang, it is doomed that only the death of one side can end the confrontation in position.

And under such a premise.

Dong Bai, as Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, is the direct blood relative of the usurping villain. This identity made her bear a lot of hatred. Before Dong Zhuo was killed, she would never be able to stay with Cao Ang in a fair and honest manner.

Go one step further.

Just like Missy said.

If she didn't stay on this trip, but instead went to Chang'an with Dong Zhuo, let alone marrying her, even meeting her, would be a big taboo, and this would be a confrontation.

Therefore, any choice she makes is tantamount to abandoning the other party and drawing a clear line.

And Dong Bai chose himself.

After all, she was on the side of Cao Ang, that is, the side of her fiance.

It takes a lot of courage.

and, to a greater extent, preference.

Although it was due to Dong Zhuo's own evil deeds, it was also his nostalgia for Cao Ang that overwhelmed the family affection between grandparents and grandchildren.

……

for this.

It's hard not to be moved by Cao Ang.

of course.

What is needed most right now is reassurance and consolation.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Cao Ang stroked Dong Bai's head, straightened his chest, and spoke decisively with a bit of domineering arrogance.

"Miss, don't worry, the position can be changed, Dong Gong and I will not be at odds forever."

"When my army is strong and horses are strong, and when I sweep the world, I will personally lead my troops to defeat your grandfather's army and bring him back alive."

"Deprive him of his power and put him under house arrest. You can visit him often."

"In this way, don't you just take care of both, you just need to wait for a while."

This is naturally Cao Ang's words of comfort.

Dong Zhuo committed countless crimes.

If anyone dared to spare his life after breaking through the city of Chang'an, it would be tantamount to taking part of his bad debt on himself.

Even Cao Ang would not dare to do such a thing.

Risking the disgrace of the world will also lead to the ruin of his previous good reputation. The negative effect is too exaggerated.

For now.

How to deal with it will be discussed later.

After Dong Bai heard Cao Ang's promise.

Nodding involuntarily, her small ears and delicate cheeks rubbed against Cao Ang's skirt.

But at this moment, it was hundreds of miles away.

Dong Zhuo was marching slowly.

Suddenly, I sneezed a few times for no reason.

"Strange, who is cursing this old man?"

"It's probably Yuan Shao's fellows!"

……

The two cuddled together for a while.

Cao Ang suddenly remembered something.

He patted Dong Bai's back with his hands, and asked with some doubts: "Xiaobai, I remember that my house is locked. How did you get in? Could it be that you climbed over the wall from the outside?"

The voice just fell.

Dong Bai suddenly screamed.

It was as if he was suddenly awakened by something.

"If you don't tell me, I would have forgotten. The soldiers under my grandfather have stockpiled some things in your yard. It looks like they are all letters."

"A few days ago, when those soldiers were moving things into the yard, I sneaked in. I was hiding in the backyard. These soldiers didn't dare to run around your house, so they didn't find me."

Speaking of it.

Dong Bai also raised his neck in confusion.

"Without my grandfather's order, these soldiers would not dare to enter and leave your mansion at will, let alone put things in it. I think it is probably his old man's instruction."

"Just why would grandfather do this?"

This question immediately made Cao Ang a little speechless.

But he reacted quickly.

He also put on a bewildered expression and said ignorantly, "These slips must be rare things, Mr. Dong couldn't bear to burn them."

"Or maybe I want to use these things to make me change my mind and join him again, and stop working with Dong Lianjun."

Talk about playing with your brain.

Ten Dong Bai is not enough to fight Cao Ang.

So when he said that, Dong Bai believed it on the spot.

Immediately tugged at Cao Ang's sleeve, and said nervously: "Grandfather has no bottom line now, so don't try to change your mind. These things are just external possessions, not worth anything!"

Looking at the pretty nervous face of the little girl.

Cao Ang couldn't help nodding with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, take me to look at those things now, I want to see what they are."

……

In fact, when Dong Bai mentioned the letter.

Cao Ang had some guesses in his mind.

However, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked by the sight in front of him.

A mountain of letters!

They are tightly packed in wooden boxes, stacked on top of each other, occupying a whole wall.

If it is poured out, I really don't know how many books and slips there will be.

He casually took out a volume from a box, and when he unfolded it, there was a mighty ancient prose.

"In the beginning, Duke Wu of Zheng married Yu Shen, named Wu Jiang, who gave birth to Duke Zhuang and uncle Duan..."

This is a passage from "Spring and Autumn".

"hiss!"

After verifying the fineness, Cao Ang couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes were shining with gold.

This is a fortune!

Even if the grades of these slips and classics may not be at the same level as the Spring and Autumn Period, there are so many of them!

As long as they move back home, the Cao family can immediately be upgraded to a family of poetry and books, and if a few culture-savvy, well-studied one or two collections of classics and history are produced, the Cao family may be transformed into a noble family.

In the future, when those gentry or great Confucians asked which scriptures were governed at home, they would not be speechless. This is definitely an essential leap.

Even if the Cao family doesn't study it themselves.

If you spread the news that there are thousands of volumes of books in your family, I am afraid that there will be an unknown number of learned people who will come to ask for books to read.

Even relying on such a condition, many literati and scholars can be attracted to become the disciples of the Cao family on the condition of reading the Cao family's collection of books.

I am afraid that the number of talents to be recruited cannot be counted.

If this is not price-to-price gold, what is it?

"Shh!"

Rewrap the Spring and Autumn volume that was just taken out, and carefully put it back into the box.

Cao Ang looked at the boxes of treasures in front of him.

The whole person is extremely comfortable.

It's like eating a big bucket of ice cream in the dog days, it's cool from head to toe!

Originally, he was not found in Cai Yong's and other people's homes.

I thought it was dragged into the palace by Dong Zhuo, and a piece of it was burned to ashes.

It's all hopeless.

Unexpectedly, the twists and turns will turn, and the willows will be dark and flowers will be bright.

It was the fat black man who saved him the search and moved directly to the Cao's mansion, which was equivalent to giving him a big gift.

tsk tsk!
It's wrong to blame Dong thief!

Dong Zhuo is still a loyal man!
But thinking about it, his strategy was clever, if he hadn't sent the secret letter proving his loyalty to Dong Zhuo through Lu Bu's hand.

Take Dong Zhuo's character.

How can there be such a good thing today?

He was afraid that if he burned it, he wouldn't keep it for himself.

Therefore, it was not Dong Zhuo who was loyal, but Cao Ang, who was superior in skill, and fooled the fat black man into his hands.

……

After determining these gains.

Forget about Cao Ang's concern.

So he slept soundly tonight.

And there is a petite and lovely eldest lady in her arms, who is even more fragrant and soft, not to mention how beautiful she is.

Of course, nothing else was done.

Mainly because the situation is not right now.

In this huge mansion, there was no one else except the two of them, and the atmosphere was a little dark and lonely.

In addition, for nearly half a year, no one has lived here, and the popularity is scarce, and many rooms are covered with dust.

There is really no need to do exciting things in such an environment, it is better to give the young lady a start that will leave her with good memories.

After a night.

Cao Ang woke up early.

With the light from the sky passing through the window, the dimness in the room was instantly swept away.

By the bright morning light.

Cao Ang looked at Dong Bai who was sleeping on his arm, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

This girl fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow last night, obviously she hasn't had a good rest recently.

He hid in such a deserted house for many days in a row, frightened and frightened.

It wasn't until Cao Ang's arrival that she felt safe enough to sleep peacefully.

Can't help but use his hands to brush the hair hanging down his cheeks, Cao Ang simply didn't bother.

Anyway, he already got what he wanted, so there was no need to wander around Luoyang City like a headless chicken like the rest of the people.

……

In this way, until the sun is three poles.

Cao Ang put the robe on Dong Bai again, put on the hood, and covered her face a little.

Only then did the gate of the mansion open.

At this moment.

Dian Wei was already waiting quietly in front of the door.

Seeing his general come out, Dian Wei was secretly relieved, but also hurriedly said to Cao Ang.

"General, Wen Yuan and Mr. Xun came here half an hour ago. Seeing that you still haven't woken up, they went back for now."

Cao Ang nodded.

"A Dian, you run for me, invite everyone over, and let Gongda come to my study alone, it's time to prepare for the next thing."

Dian Wei agreed.

Then he quickly ran away in one direction.

After half an hour.

Cao Ang met Xun You in the study.

Different from the sick and embarrassed look yesterday, Haosheng rested for a night, took a bath and washed, and changed into a set of neat clothes.

Xun You's mental outlook is much better today.

At the very least, he can walk around on his own, without the need for others to carry him. Dressed in white, he looks gentle and elegant.

It's just that he is still a bit worse than his uncle Xun Yu.

Obviously, compared to myself, it is much worse.

"Gongda, how did you rest last night? Has your body improved?"

Hearing Cao Ang's polite inquiry.

Xun You immediately bowed his hands in front of him, bowed down, and gave Cao Ang a big gift.

"The general's life-saving grace, and let me take him in, such a great virtue, I will never forget it!"

Cao Ang hurried forward, supported his elbows with both hands, helped him up, and invited him to the seat.

After the two sit down.

Cao Ang specially made tea soup.

After such a courteous etiquette.

Cao Ang felt that the heat was almost ready, and it was time to proceed to the next step, to initially recruit and take care of the top talent in front of him.

Immediately, Zhuangruo asked unintentionally: "Now that Gongda is free, the world is up to you. Do you have any plans for the future?"

……

Xun You's insight is very keen.

Although Cao Ang's question sounded very casual, it seemed that he was just chatting casually.

However, he still sensed a strange taste between the lines, and immediately knew that General Cao in front of him meant something else.

After a little thought.

Xun You raised his head and glanced at Cao Ang, and then replied with the same lightness: "Now that Thief Dong is causing trouble to the court, and the emperor and all the officials are being coerced by him to leave. I, the servant of the Huangmen, can't think about it anymore."

"Since this is the case, I plan to travel around to study, find friends and visit the old, or go back to my hometown to see, settle down in my hometown for a few years, and see how the world is going, and then make other plans."

After a preliminary trial.

Cao Ang saw that Xun You's thoughts were not firm, and the things listed above were not mandatory, but more like prevarication to himself.

So he doesn't beat around the bush.

After a little bow.

Cao Ang said bluntly: "At present, Thief Dong is usurping rebellion and acting recklessly, the government is in chaos, the subjects of the world have lost their laws, the country and society are in danger of collapse, and the people of Li don't know where to go."

"However, Yuan Shao and others, who came from a wealthy family with strong background and many generals, don't think about punishing the country's thieves. Instead, they have their own ideas and preserve their strength. It's really chilling."

"Although Ang is not talented, he is full of passion and loyalty. He is willing to use his weak body and frail body to dedicate his life to fighting against the national traitors and revitalizing the court!"

"It's just that the current situation is weak, and I don't know where to start many things. I have heard for a long time that Gongda is a great talent in the world. Ang dares to ask Gongda to help me. You and I will jointly plan a great cause and punish the country's thieves!"

After saying that, Cao Ang stood up.

He bowed to Xun You.

Sincere words.

The tone is sincere.

Even Xun You couldn't help being moved by it.

……

After thinking for a few seconds.

In Xun You's eyes, a flash of brilliant light flashed, and the already bright pupils seemed to be able to look directly at people's hearts at this moment.

He was somewhat moved by Cao Ang.

There was an urge to agree immediately in my heart.

But reason told him.

This is inappropriate, he must try again, he needs to know whether the young general in front of him is worth following or not.

So after standing up and helping Cao Ang up.

Xun You bowed.

Then he said in the same tone full of emotion: "The general's words come from the bottom of my heart, and it really makes me feel impassioned."

"It's just ashamed to say that I'm not talented enough, and I'm not capable enough to be a general. It's really powerless!"

Facing Xun You's modest words.

Cao Ang just smiled slightly.

mock up!

I've already expected this from you.

He immediately pulled Xun You to sit down, and then said somewhat mysteriously: "I said earlier that Gongda has a great talent in the world. This is not a compliment, but uncle Xun Wenruo once said to me of."

"Since the two of you are uncles and nephews, Wen Ruo must not be bragging about this matter, you must have a great talent!"

The voice just fell.

Xun You was shocked.

Originally, he was still an old god, but now he broke his power in a second, and he was quite dumbfounded.

Well, it was sold by my family!

"I never thought that General, and Uncle Wen Ruo are old acquaintances, but I am being rude to you."

Then he bowed his hands to Cao Ang and saluted.

……

"It's not an old acquaintance, but Wen Ruo is helping me. Now he is in Dingtao County, temporarily taking care of Jiyin County affairs for my father. He really can't get away, otherwise he will come to Luoyang with me this time."

Now Xun You was really shocked.

He stared at Cao Ang with wide eyes.

He really didn't expect this!
Xun Yu was originally serving as the palace guard in Luoyang, but he suddenly resigned from his position a few months ago. Xun You originally thought that his uncle had disliked the court under Dong Zhuo's control, so he went back to his hometown.

In the past year and a half, there has been no letter.

Have not been in touch with each other.

Unexpectedly, he ran to Cao Ang's errand without making a sound.

It's amazing.

In fact, this is not Xun Yu's fault.

Mainly because I left in a hurry.

At that time, Xun Yu was shouldering the important task of taking good care of Liu Bian, the Queen Mother and others, escorting them to the designated place safely, and accompanying Cao Ang to send several venerables to Dingtao County.

There is simply no time to say hello to relatives and friends.

Besides, the mission at that time was extremely confidential.

Xun Yu dared not tell anyone.

Naturally, they left Luoyang City quietly.

So Xun You didn't know about it.

……

Now after getting this news.

Xun You began to ponder.

Uncle Wen Ruo knew something about him, and he was also a man with both ability and political integrity.

And have a sincere heart.

He is no worse than himself in the ability to know people.

Uncle Wen Ruo would never follow unless he got his approval.

Now that General Cao said so, Xun You felt that he had nothing to choose.

Xun Yu's choice.

It has already been verified for him that Cao Ang is a person worth following, so this step can be omitted directly.

It's just that he still hesitated.

Xun You is not an indecisive person.

But the choice he faces at this moment will determine his future, and on a larger scale, it may even determine the second half of his life, no matter how much he thinks about it, it is not enough.

And Cao Ang saw this situation.

He knew that Xun You was a little moved, but he still had some concerns in his heart, so it was unresolved.

Immediately understand.

I knew I had to push one last time.

The flame was already burning, and he just waited for him to add wood to it to make the fire burn to its fullest.

All goals can be achieved.

……

Cao Ang said nothing.

He got up and came to Xun You's side, then grabbed his arm with both hands, and said very passionately.

"A real man was born in troubled times. He has a rare talent to manage the world, and he should carry a three-foot long sword to achieve invincible feats. How can he grow old in the forest!"

"For the sake of the world, for the people's livelihood, and for the sake of the Han Dynasty, I ask Gongda to help me no matter what!"

After speaking, I was ready to worship to the end.

And as soon as this remark came out.

Xun You was immediately moved.

The worries in my heart collapsed at this moment.

He immediately bowed to the end as well.

He even said loudly: "The general will not abandon your humbleness, and you are willing to serve as a pawn in the general's tent, and do your best until you die!"
