Chapter 66: The Medicine Farmer and the General
Yuan Yun looked at Anu with a panicked face, and felt that he wanted to laugh very much, bringing this person back today, but it was a little strong, which fully made Yuan Yun feel a little bit of a bully.
At this moment, Cao's Mansion is located in the lobby of the outer courtyard of Yecheng, and it is already Yuan Yun's exclusive courtyard, so he will basically not be disturbed by outsiders now, but Anu in front of him doesn't know, he is trembling all over his body now, because when he entered the gate just now, he knew where this was, and he had often heard people mention it before.
Now that Anu has entered Cao's Mansion, he knows that he is estimated to be dead or alive, but he is still thinking about the old and young in his family, so he always feels at ease, but even if he wants to escape, where can he do it, because the guard who escorted him is a veteran of the army at first glance, and if he makes any moves, he will definitely be overwhelmed immediately.
Yuan Yun changed his clothes from the inner house, and when he came out, he was stunned, and found that Anu was kneeling on the ground in the hall, although it was already summer at the moment, but he was still trembling all over.
"Who made you kneel?" When Yuan Yun sat down, he had already ordered Shi Shen to help Anu up.
Anu thought that he was going to be dragged out to cut off his head, so he knelt down again with a puff, and said again and again: "Nobleman, the little one doesn't know your identity, so he will sell medicine to you, and those who have little money will be pushed to you, just ask the noble person to let go of the small one, and there are still old and young people in the family who need to be fed, and the small one can't mean that the whole family of five will be buried with him." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, and this time he came over in person, and then helped the person up, and then said: "Anu, you don't have to panic, who said that you want your life, Ben Hou took you back to the house, and he planned to give you an errand." ”
As soon as Anu heard that Yuan Yun called himself the Hou Ye, he was even more ownerless, where would he believe Yuan Yun's words, so he quickly knelt down again, but was pulled up again, and after repeating this several times, Shi Shen finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he shouted, and then sat down on the seat with the escort.
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, there was really no way to deal with these people whose minds were full of hierarchy.
Finally returning to his seat, Yuan Yuncai continued to ask, "Anu, did all the ginseng you just now pick from the mountains?" ”
Anu replied in a trembling voice, "Return...... Some of them were picked from the mountains, and some were grown by themselves. ”
Yuan Yun was overjoyed, and immediately asked, "In addition to planting ginseng, do you also grow some other medicinal herbs?" ”
Anu was forced to drink a cup of tea by Shi Shen, and now his mood has stabilized a little, and he is a little more sober, at this moment, this Hou Ye did not kill himself directly, but asked about the cultivation of medicinal herbs, at least it proves that his life should be fine.
After settling down a bit, Ah Nu replied cautiously: "My family was originally a wild man in the mountains, but later it was captured by the marrying general, and it became a serf. ”
When Yuan Yun heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up a little, and he smiled: "Anu, from now on, you will come to Benhou's Yuan Mansion on an errand, your family can move here, go back and wait for Benhou to return from the Northern Expedition, and then follow Benhou back to Luoyang, uh......"
Yuan Yun touched his chin halfway through speaking, and immediately shook his head again: "Don't wait, you take your family to Luoyang now, Benhou will send someone to take you there, and when you get there, you will naturally be registered, and as for your family's rations, it is not a problem." ”
Anu's face was sluggish when he heard this, and he didn't know what the Hou Ye in front of him was going to do, so he could only ask carefully: "Wait...... Master Hou is planning to let the little cultivator cultivate medicinal herbs? ”
Yuan Yun nodded, said: "It's not just farming, but to promote it on a large scale, now the medicinal materials are too rare, just rely on going to the mountains to pick, can not be satisfied at all, there are capable people like you who have specialized in cultivating medicinal materials for generations, where will Ben Hou let go, you can rest assured, as long as you can plant medicinal materials well, Ben Hou guarantees that your family will not worry about drinking old snacks, and the days will get better and better." ”
After Yuan Yun finished instructing Anu, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, so he ordered Shi Shen: "You take Anu to pick up his family, and then send someone to send him to Luoyang, I will personally repair a letter to Mr. Jia Xu, and let Anu over there quickly start the cultivation of medicinal materials." ”
After hearing Shi Shen's promise, Yuan Yun said to Anu again: "Luoyang still thinks that Hua Tuo is a miracle doctor, and he must be very happy to see you, so Anu, although you do your job, you will no longer be a serf in the future, but the household registration of Luoyang Hongben, and someone will prepare food for you." ”
Anu couldn't reply at all, just waiting for his eyes, and the thoughts in his head had become a mess.
Yuan Yun saw that Anu was stunned, and buttoned his chin again, and then asked greedily, "Is there anyone among the people you know who can grow medicinal herbs?" ”
Before Anu could answer, he saw Xiao Liu walk in, and when he entered the door, he felt that the scene was very strange, because Yuan Yun looked proud, but Anu in the position of the attack was about to pass out.
Ignoring the strange scene, Xiao Liu arched his hand at Yuan Yun, and then said, "Lord, Cao Zhen outside the door asks to see you." ”
Yuan Yun was already smiling evilly on his face, and when he heard Cao Zhen coming, his smile became even more proud, and he slowly commanded Shi Shen a few more words, before letting the other party take people away, he was happy in his heart, as long as the medicinal materials can be planted successfully, Luoyang will have one more important industry in the future, and then you can rely on Liu Yiyi's hotel to popularize and open various chain pharmacies, and it will be named Neptune Pharmacy.
Seeing Anu being taken away by Shi Shen, Yuan Yuncai instructed Xiao Liu: "Welcome General Cao Zhen over." ”
Not long after, Cao Zhen came to Yuan Yun's face, still sitting in the position where Anu was sitting just now, and before he could salute and speak, he had already begun to look left and right.
Looking at Cao Zhen with such an appearance, Yuan Yun smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, daring to love that this general was already so familiar with him, and he began to look around for wine without greeting him when he entered the door, and he didn't know what to say about the other party.
After thinking about it, Yuan Yun pointed to Xiao Liu, who was waiting beside him, and Xiao Liu immediately understood, and immediately took out a pot of spirits from the low table next to him, and then personally delivered it to Cao Zhen.
After Cao Zhen opened the cork, he only felt the smell of wine, and immediately knew that the concentration of this wine was very high, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he didn't care about Yuan Yunzheng giving him his hand, so he poured a sip from the mouth of this pot.
When his mouth and throat were filled with the surging wine, Cao Zhen held his breath vigorously, and only after a long time did he hum very enjoyably, and then smiled at Yuan Yun: "I haven't seen you for many days, Yuan Hou is getting stronger and stronger." ”
Yuan Yun laughed dryly and said, "This wine has been distilled several times, and you are not afraid of hurting your stomach if you drink it so dry, it is better to wait for someone to get the side dishes with the wine before it is too late to drink." ”
Cao Zhen nodded, put the wine jug aside with some reluctance, and then said: "The tiger and leopard ride has begun to prepare, and I was also directly withered by the lord from Chenliu, it seems that the battle of the Northern Expedition is inevitable." ”
Yuan Yun snorted, but shook his head again, and said, "I've been here for a few days, but I haven't seen Cao Sikong mention this matter, and I'm afraid that Brother Zidan will be like me, so he can only stay in Yecheng." ”
Cao Zhen shook his hand and said: "Yuan Hou rest assured, this matter has basically been decided now, and at the morning meeting today, Chen Qun and Wang Lang no longer oppose the Northern Expedition, so it can be known that the matter of the Northern Expedition will inevitably be decided in the next few days." ”
Yuan Yun touched his chin playfully, although Cao Cao asked him to participate in the morning meeting, but he was rejected by himself for various reasons, anyway, if he discussed it or not, he Yuan Yun didn't care, the Northern Expedition was just a matter of time or later, so he didn't bother to waste saliva with others.
It's just that what people didn't expect now is that Chen Qun actually began to support the Northern Expedition, this kind of change is very rare for these old officials, after all, letting them change their political opinions is tantamount to slapping their big mouths, which is simply humiliating.
Cao Zhen saw that Yuan Yun pondered for a moment, thinking that the other party was worried about going into battle, and he also knew very well that Yuan Yun was smart and smart, but it was completely unreliable to go into battle to kill the enemy.
After thinking about it for Yuan Yun, Cao Zhencai smiled and said: "This Northern Expedition, I will ask to be assigned to a military unit with Yuan Hou, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will still be the flank of the Gunpowder Army, and I have cooperated before, so I will definitely be more familiar with it this time." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "The brothers of the tiger and leopard riders were very bad with the soldiers of the gunpowder army before, and now they are assigned together, will there be any more trouble?" ”
When Yuan Yun spoke, he already thought of the scene when they were crusading against Yecheng together, when the tiger and leopard cavalry were stationed in the camp of the gunpowder army, during which there were many discordant incidents between the two soldiers, and finally after Cao Ang and Cao Zhen were ruthless and killed the two troublesome soldiers, the matter was forcibly suppressed.
Cao Zhen heard Yuan Yun's worries, and immediately shook his hand and said: "Now that the tiger and leopard ride has been cleaned, I have also assigned those old Cao Ren troops who are resistant to the gunpowder army, and the rest of the people are friendly to the gunpowder army, so Yuan Houda can rest assured." ”
Yuan Yun opened his mouth in an instant, and then asked very suspiciously, "Zidan, ...... are you?" ”
Without waiting for Yuan Yun to ask all the words, Cao Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I, Cao Zidan, am willing to serve under Cao Ang Shizi in the future, and now the improvement of the tiger and leopard riding is a vote for you." ”
Yuan Yun's face was full of joy in an instant, this is simply great news, Cao Ren probably couldn't guess if he wanted to break his head, Cao Zhen was willing to take refuge in Cao Ang's side, after all, compared to Cao Ang, his relationship with Cao Pi was better.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yun was puzzled again, so he asked: "But Brother Zidan has a good relationship with Cao Pi, will you ...... if you take refuge in Cao Ang's son like this?"
Cao Zhen still didn't wait for Yuan Yun to finish speaking, and directly interjected: "It's because of my friendship with Cao Pi that I plan to vote for you, no matter what happens in the future, I really don't want to see the two of you fighting each other, the main reason for choosing Cao Ang is because you are generous enough, if Cao Ang succeeds to the throne in the future, I can more or less hold Cao Pi, I believe Yuan Hou will not object." ”
Speaking of this, Cao Zhen paused, saw Yuan Yun nodding, and then continued: "If I vote for Cao Ren's side, I'm afraid he won't be so generous, once they win and Cao Pi succeeds to the throne, I'm afraid a lot of people will die, this is definitely not wrong with my understanding of Cao Pi and Cao Ren, just look at General Cao Ren's constant boycott of the medical camp, I know that he is already resisting for the sake of resisting." ”
Yuan Yun looked at Cao Zhen's serious face, and admired this man in his heart, he probably suffered for a long time before making such a decision, after all, once this matter is established, it means that he Cao Zhen will offend everyone on Cao Ren's side.
Cao Zhen saw that Yuan Yun was silent, so he continued: "There is still something to discuss with Yuan Hou. ”
Yuan Yun immediately made a gesture that it was okay, and Cao Zhen immediately smiled and said, "I hope Yuan Hou can give the tiger and leopard some good equipment, even if it is the Gunpowder Army brothers who have retired." ”
