Chapter 53: The army arrives at Xudu! (The last chapter of this volume)
The next morning, Cao Chong rarely got up one night. When the sunlight almost shone on Cao Chong's butt, he reluctantly got up from the bed.
Outside the window in the early morning, there was a little light and the summer was refreshing. Cao Chong had already prepared a pot of corn porridge from the door when he opened the room.
"Young Master, I'm almost starving to death, come quickly!" Zhou Dufu looked at Cao Chong with a big bowl in his hand, and chopsticks kept knocking on the food. When he saw Cao Chong coming, he immediately scooped out a bowl of corn porridge, and a few bites, and a large bowl was in his stomach.
"Big Head, why are you disobedient? You didn't even take your seat, so you started eating?" Zhou Ying looked fierce and evil, which scared Zhou Dufu so much that she dared not take any other actions.
"It's okay, it's okay. Big Head is hungry, it's okay to eat first!"
"I know that the young master cares about the only husband the most!" Zhou Dufu gave Zhou Ying a look and scooped out another bowl without hesitation.
Zhou Ying had already prepared the No. 1 bowl of Xiao Zhou Dufu, which contained golden corn porridge and handed it to Cao Chong.
"Eat!" Although Zhou Ying only said one sentence, she only had her husband to serve a man except her family.
Zhou Ying’s meaning is undoubtedly clear!
After taking the small bowl, the corn porridge floated quietly in it. Judging from the concentration, I was afraid that a lot of corn was added. No wonder Zhou Dufu drank so happily.
Take a small bite and the taste of corn porridge is similar to wheat, and there are differences. Specifically, it should be a little worse and you can swallow it in one bite without chewing.
After breakfast, Zhou Dufu and Zhou Ying carried large and small bags and placed them on the ox cart they borrowed from the three elders. Zhou Dufu sat on the ox cart and was about to set off on the road.
"Miss Zhou, why is this?" Cao Chong looked at the pots and pans on the ox cart and covered his eyes for a moment.
"Although the young student is not talented, he can still afford furniture!"
The Prime Minister's Mansion still wants your pots and pans?
"Young Master, this is not a pot or pan, but a book!"
"Book?" Cao Chong was shocked. This book of ox cart was never owned by someone like Zhou Ying.
It should be noted that books from this era are not books from later generations. You can buy a pirated copy of more than ten yuan.
In this era, knowledge is the patent of a few people, and books are naturally owned by a few people. If a commoner like Zhou Ying also owns a cart of books, that would be the big deal!
"I think that if I really enter the young master's house, I'm afraid it won't work without reading a word. So I want to read more words to help the young master."
Help me?
Cao Chong opened his mouth wide and was a little dull for a moment.
In this era, women without talent are virtues, and talented women either have a tragic fate, such as Cai Wenji, or they are similar to Empress Dowager Dou and Wu Zetian.
Cao Chong looked at the light in Zhou Ying's eyes and felt that there was little chance of becoming Empress Dowager Dou, but it was more likely that she would become Wu Zetian.
For a moment, Cao Chong didn't know whether it was good or bad to take Zhou Ying back home.
"Oh~ It's up to you!" Cao Chong waved his hand. As for the source of these books, Cao Chong knew that they should be from the San Lao's home.
For people in Zhoujiazhuang, the relationship between Cao Chong is more valuable than a cart of books.
"Then let's go!" Cao Chong slapped the horse's buttocks with a whip, and the dark horse under his crotch also began to run.
Zhou Ying looked at Cao Chong and suddenly became a little confused. Don’t Mr. Cao want me to read?
Three people, two horses and one ox began to gallop on the Xudu official road. Behind them, a 100-person team guarding them at all times.
A ray of yellow smoke gradually approached Xu Du.
There was no crowd of people surging in Xudu East Gate, it was like a static thing, setting it up.
Cao Cao, who was less than seven feet tall, was wearing Hanfu and a red robe behind him, and was fluttering in the wind at this moment.
He sat at the east gate, looking at Xu Du away, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Stop!" Five miles to the east gate of Xudu, the huge Xudu city wall was still vaguely in my eyes, but a team of armored warriors were already blocking the official road.
"The East Gate is inconvenient today, so please change the way!"
Inconvenient? What's the inconvenience?
"Brother, please tell me what the inconvenience is?"
This soldier is only thirty years old, but he is very evil. I am afraid that he has been struggling among the dead for more than ten years.
"Nothing to tell me! Please move my son!" If it weren't for the fact that Cao Chong was dressed well, he wouldn't have talked so much nonsense with Cao Chong.
"This brother, I am Cao Chong, the son of the Prime Minister. Please tell me what the inconvenience is!" Although Cao Cao was in charge, Xu Du could not have happened now, but Cao Chong is very cautious when encountering things, and there is nothing wrong with asking.
The Prime Minister's son?
Sure enough, when he heard this sentence, the soldier's expression became much more serious. He immediately bowed and said slowly:
"The villain is not very clear. He heard that it seems that someone is coming in Yecheng!"
When people came to Yecheng, Cao Chong first breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was a little confused. How many days should the Yecheng army still have to go to Xudu? Why did he arrive in Xudu so quickly?
"Then can my father be at the East Gate?"
"The Prime Minister is at the East Gate!"
"Then take me over!"
It turned out that the school was a little suspicious of Cao Chong's identity, but just this statement made me believe it.
"Please, please!" The young school stopped the horse and gave way to Cao Chong, signaling Cao Chong to go in.
"Then my followers can't come with me?"
The school shook his head and said, "Please be considerate of the young master. The prime minister is at the east gate, and all matters need to be handled strictly!"
Cao Chong nodded, looked at Zhou Ying, Zhou Dufu, and said, "You can go from Ximen. Cao Ba knows Datou, and then you will be fine!"
Regardless of Zhou Ying's strange eyes, Cao Chong and the school drove their horses into the Xudu official road. For a moment, the east gate was faintly looking.
Rows of black-armored soldiers stayed under the scorching sun, and the city walls were covered with heroic troops fighting hundreds of battles, with Han flags flying and dancing in the wind.
Cao Cao was sitting in the middle of the east gate, looking at the intersection with thoughtful look.
"Report!" A flag soldier stepped forward and knelt in front of Cao Cao and said, "Report to the Prime Minister, all the military advisors and the generals of the bandit are twenty miles away!"
"Go!" Cao Cao threw a command arrow. After the flag soldier got the command arrow, he climbed onto a new horse again and galloped away quickly.
It turned out that after Cao Cao left the camp alone, although he left a letter to tell him how to do the next step, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Chen Lin and others could not rest assured. So after Cao Cao set off, he immediately went on a night and rushed to Xudu with the general Zhang Liao, the bandit.
But Jia Xu and Chen Lin are not young anymore, and they are all scholars, so their speed is naturally not as fast as Cao Cao and others.
I didn't arrive in Xudu until today.
"Father!" Cao Chong got off the horse, ran to Cao Cao, and paused his head and gave the elders' tribute.
"Chong'er, why are you here? Come here soon!"
When Cao Cao saw Cao Chong, his face was full of joy, and Cao Chong also turned into one step and walked to Cao Cao.
"Chong'er, why did you come to the East Gate?"
"I brought that woman back..." Cao Chong still looked resentful when he thought of this. Some people were determined to open the harem, but they also had to be clear that not everyone could handle so many women.
In history, heroes killed by women cannot count even one hand!
Moreover, based on Zhou Ying's personality, Cao Chong felt that it would be difficult to be harmonious in the backyard.
"Oh! It's good to bring it back!" Cao Cao asked Cao Chong to bring Zhou Ying back, mainly to teach Cao Chong how to be a person and how to be a responsible man.
Of course, since people have brought them back, their purpose must have been achieved.
"Father, Chong'er heard that Uncle Xun You and Uncle Jia Xu are coming back, but is it true?"
If you talk about the strategists of the Three Kingdoms, you cannot have never heard of the poisonous man Jia Xu, and you must be familiar with Xun You and Cheng Yu and others. Once these people were pulled out, they were all talented people who could be prime ministers, and they would not give in to Zhuge Liang.
"Yes, they are here!"
Cao Cao seemed to be sighing and lyricizing, but his expression was shining brightly. Unlike Xun Yu, these people were all advisers whom he could trust.
With them, the southern expedition was put on the agenda!
