Yanzhou, Changyi, Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

Cao Cao was silent for a long time after seeing his subordinates and sending back the battle report.

He looked at Guo Jia on the side and said softly: "Fengxiao, the ambition of a certain life, is like the Han Hussar general Huo Quai, sealing the wolf and making a name for himself. ”

"However, I was racking my brains for the capture of Yanzhou. Chen Wenzhao has already realized my life's ambition. Compared with Chen Wenzhao's mind and bearing, I might as well be far away! ”

After speaking, Cao Cao sighed.

Guo Jia was a little decadent when he heard Cao Cao's words, and hurriedly said: "Although Chen Wenzhao is a generation of heroes, but the lord has no need to be arrogant. ”

"The true dragons in the world can be big and small, hidden and visible. The big one soars in the nine heavens, and its chirping sound resounded through the heavens and the earth. The small ones are hidden in the clouds and mist, and their traces are not visible. ”

"The current lord is like a real dragon hidden in the clouds. When the neck is long and the neck is flying for nine days, it can show its brilliance. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked in his heart and asked: "The fish leaps into the dragon gate, and there is also an opportunity to follow." I don't know where my opportunity is? ”

Guo Jia did not answer immediately, but turned to look at the west, and only after a while did he speak: "This opportunity must not be too far!" ”

Cao Cao didn't understand what Guo Jia meant, and thought that he was just comforting himself, so he sighed and said, "Although I have never met Chen Wenzhao, I have heard of his name for a long time. ”

Fortunately, Cao Cao is not the kind of person who feels sorry for himself, and it can be seen from his life experience that the more difficult this person is, the more powerful energy he can burst out.

His pride and personal charm can always infect everyone around him. So that they, even in a desperate situation, can see hope and laugh at life.

Cao Cao puffed up his chest and suddenly said: "In my opinion, the heroes of the world, only Wenzhao and Cao'er!" ”

"If he is one day, I can level the four seas and support the Han family, and I must appoint Chen Wenzhao as the general of the hussars, lead the army for me, and set foot outside the Saiwai!"

When Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's bold words, he couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed: "This is the will of the lord, Jia will definitely do his best to capture Chen Wenzhao alive and let him use it for the lord!" ”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, who was laughing, and couldn't help laughing. Among his many strategists, it was only when facing Guo Jia that Cao Cao could truly relax himself.

And the state, Jinyang, the state of the pastor's house. It was only now that Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When the 50,000 infantry of the state merged with Chen Xu and others in Cyprus. Chen Xu asked Cheng Yu to command them, and transported all the captured booty and women back to Bingzhou.

He himself led the trapping camp and the rest of the cavalry, and plundered everywhere again.

In the end, even Chen Xu himself didn't know how much.

All he knew was that after selling some horses, cattle and sheep, and paying for a large amount of looted goods. All debts owed have been paid off.

Since the borrowing time is not long, the state needs to pay the interest of the wealthy families, and there is not much.

After settling the loan with the spoils of war, the state had little money left. But it is also enough to merge states and launch a large-scale military operation again.

All of the above is still guaranteed in advance that the newly moved people in the state will have enough rations to support the autumn harvest.

Although there are not many Xianbei people on the grassland, the war horses, cattle and sheep in their tribe, as well as the wealth they have accumulated, are innumerable.

In particular, tens of thousands of war horses have brought a lot of money and grain for the annexation of the state. For the loans of many wealthy families in the state, Chen Xu used war horses to pay off debts.

After paying off his debts, Chen Xu felt relieved. At that time, those wealthy families in Bingzhou who were forcibly borrowed by Chen Xu, they also put their hanging hearts back in their stomachs.

They were just worried that Chen Xu, who was born in the Yellow Turban, would have bad intentions towards them as wealthy people.

But through Chen Xu's debt repayment and the wealthy families in the state, they all understood Chen Xu's personality.

They have no fear in their hearts, and this great victory outside the Saiwai has made many wealthy families in Bingzhou see Chen Xu's strength.

For a time, there were many wealthy families in Bingzhou who were attached to Chen Xu.

Thinking of this period of time, and the thriving situation in Bingzhou, the corners of Chen Xu's mouth couldn't help but smile.

"Big brother."

Suddenly, Chen Jing's voice sounded behind Chen Xu.

Ever since the Jinyang Wang clan released kindness to Chen Xu, Chen Xu has been thinking about how to settle Wang Rou.

This time, the state sent troops outside the fortress, after the triumph. Chen Xu simply removed the title of Xiongnu Zhonglang General from Chen Jing and kept him by his side.

As for Wang Rou, he was reinstated as an official and still held the position of the general of the Xiongnu.

Chen Xu saw Chen Jing, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face: "Ah Jing, it's a pity that Ah Hu has returned to Yanmen County, and our three brothers can't get together." Otherwise, we must get drunk. ”

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Chen Jing had a nostalgic look on her face and a hint of a smile.

After laughing, he suddenly said to Chen Xu: "Big brother, I want to go back to Taihang Mountain." ”

Raising his eyebrows, Chen Xu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Jing said with some hesitation: "I have already heard that the Xianbei leader Kebineng who was killed by Ziliang was the one who killed Changqi that day. ”

"It's not hot now, and Kebineng's head has been salted in lime. However, after all, after all this long time, Kebineng's head also began to rot. ”

"I want to take advantage of this time and go to the mountains to pay respects to Changqi."

Chen Xu's eyes were a little confused, and he muttered in a low voice: "Long ......"

Chen Jing and Li Guo met in Weimo, and the relationship between the two is like brothers. Otherwise, Li Guo would not have gone to Puyang to save him by risking his life for the sake of Chen Xu's affairs.

Thinking of everything he owed Li Guo, Chen Xu's eyes became a little moist.

He held back his tears and said in an astringent voice, "I'll go with you!" ”

On Taihang Mountain, it is still a high mountain and a dangerous road, and the grass and trees are thick. Since Chen Xu took the annexation of the state, although the people in the mountains began to slowly migrate to the bottom of the mountains in batches.

But the entire Taihang Mountain, after all, took a lot of manpower and material resources from the Yellow Turban Army to develop into its current state. For this former base camp, Chen Xu is still reluctant to give up.

He allowed some people to continue to live in the mountains, and sent many retired Yellow Turban soldiers to be stationed on Taihang Mountain. that they may be ploughing while they are plowing; On the one hand, it defended Taihang Mountain and was occupied by other bandits.

The scenery of Taihang Mountain is still the same, compared with before, but there is less noise and more tranquility.

The Yellow Turban veterans stationed on the mountain, they immediately became very happy when they saw Chen Xu, Chen Jing, Dian Wei and others go up the mountain.

Everyone stepped forward one after another, surrounded Chen Xu, and shouted emotionally: "Lord! ”

Chen Xu looked around, looking at these familiar yellow turban veterans, and he was also embarrassed.

Most of these people who were left in Taihang Mountain were subordinates who followed Chen Xu to fight in the north and south. They are either too old or have some physical injuries.

These people are more nostalgic and reluctant to go down the mountain.

In addition, Chen Xu considered that Taihang Mountain was also a good place, so he left them here.

Chen Xu looked at them and said, "If you have any needs, you can tell me." If you feel that the mother-in-law at home is not enough, I have grabbed a lot of Xianbei women this time, and I can also send a batch over. ”

One of the leaders hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord, our life in Taihang Mountain is much better than before, where do we need any messy things?" ”

"As for women, the lord took pity on him and took the lead in assigning a group of people to us as mothers-in-law. Now, most of our families have torturers. Guarding the hot kang head of my wife and children every day, I am already very satisfied! ”

Seeing the happy look on everyone's faces, it didn't seem to be fake, Chen Xu smiled at this time.

He looked at the crowd and said jokingly, "If you stay in the mountains, you will have more cubs." When they grow up, I still want them to fight the world for me. ”

Hearing Chen Xu say this, everyone immediately expressed their attitudes. After I go back, I must work hard to let the mother-in-law at home have a few more cubs.

When everyone knew that Chen Xu was the purpose of going up the mountain. They sent a team of heavily armed men and horses to escort Chen Xu up the mountain.

Chen Xu said that there was no danger in the mountains, and repeatedly excused himself, but they just didn't allow it. As a last resort, Chen Xu had no choice but to take them up the mountain together.

Spring has arrived, and the graves in the mountains also have a touch of green, which does not look so bleak.

Chen Xu first worshiped the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, and then took Dian Wei and Chen Jing to the place where Li Guo was buried.

After Li Guo died in battle, Kebineng was busy chasing and killing Chen Xu, so he didn't bring his corpse.

Later, Li Guo's body was hidden by the local people. Chen Xu then sent people to move back all the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army who died in battle.

Chen Jing was overwhelmed with grief when she learned that Li Guo had died in battle, and she also held a grudge against the Xianbei general who killed Li Guo.

At the foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, after Ke Bineng was killed by Zhao Huang, Chen Jing chopped his body and fed it to the wild dogs. Then his head was salted in lime and prepared to be taken back to the mountains to worship Li Guo.

Some time ago, due to the busy affairs of the state, Chen Jing did not spare time, which has been delayed until today.

Chen Jing held Kebineng's head in his left hand and a jar of spirits in his right hand, and slowly walked to Li Guo's tombstone.

He threw Kebineng's head in front of Li Guo's grave, and then held the wine jar in his arms and kept drinking. With each sip, he poured some onto the ground.

Drinking, drinking, Chen Jing's tears couldn't help but fall.

Chen Xu and Dian Wei didn't speak, they were all rescued by Li Guo when they were in Puyang. Now looking at the grave of the savior, the mood is naturally very low.

The wind blew the dead grass on the grave.

Suddenly, there was a very small wildflower bud on Li Guo's grave, slowly blooming.

The buds are so beautiful and moving in the light of the sun.
