Cao Cao is sitting in the room.

The sun shines in from the outside, forming a spot of light on the wooden floor of the back hall.

Cao Cao stared at the light spot, and then watched this little insect crawl out of nowhere and crawled into the light spot. Then he seemed to feel the light, or felt Cao Cao's sight, and hesitated in the light spot.

, seemed to be retreating a little, but after a while, the little bug continued to move forward.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and stroked his beard slightly.

It was quiet inside the room.

After a while, someone came in from outside. It was Cao Cao's wife Bian. She came in with a bowl of soup. Seeing that Cao Cao was concentrating with his eyes closed, Bian gently put the soup on the table and walked around.

When he got behind Cao Cao, he held Cao Cao's head in his arms and gently kneaded it.

Cao Cao exhaled a breath, then leaned back slightly, feeling that the pain in his shoulders and neck had dissipated under Bian's kneading. After a while, Cao Cao opened his eyes, and then held Bian's hand.

"I heard that Yuan Rang is here?" Bian asked softly, "Do you want to stay and have dinner together?"

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, let go of Bian's hand, and then picked up the soup on the table, "No, he has something to do and left..."

Cao Cao's voice was tired and hoarse, and then he coughed lightly.

Ms. Bian was slightly surprised, but she covered it up well and lowered her head without asking any questions.

Cao Cao finished the soup in three gulps and then put it down.

Mrs. Bian gently moved over, put away the finished bowl, then stood up and slowly exited the back hall. After turning around the corridor, a maid came forward and took the dinner plate from Mrs. Bian's hand.

"Today evening, remove the brisket and fish, replace it with some light dishes, and cook some rice porridge..." Bian ordered as he walked forward in the corridor.

The servants followed behind, on the outside of the corridor, nodding and bowing, saying yes repeatedly.

"Take out the embroidered Sichuan brocade in the warehouse and send it to General Xiahou's wife..." Bian continued, "Send a cart of newly harvested corn as well..."

"Yes, yes... this slave has remembered..."

Mrs. Bian nodded, "Just go."

The servants quickly went to get busy.

Mrs. Bian turned around the corridor and looked back slightly.

Something big happened to her husband, but she couldn't ask. Of course, even if he asked, Cao Cao might not tell her.

Bian raised his head slightly and looked to the other side.

The sun is struggling to set on the tiles of the wall, dyeing the tiles bright red...

Xiahou Dun also returned to his home.

The attendant at home stepped forward to help him untie his armor, but Xiahou Dun pushed him away, "No, we have to go out later! Ready the horse!"

Wearing armor like this, Xiahou Dun walked into the backyard. His wife came up to him and said, "I have seen my husband... Is your husband going out?"

Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao have a very good relationship, so the wives of the two families often communicate with each other. Generally speaking, if it is approaching meal time, the other party will stay for dinner, and the other party will not be polite. But this time, Xiahou Dun went to Cao Cao

In the palace, not only did he come back so quickly, but he also hadn’t taken off his leather armor and seemed to be going out. "Prime Minister, Prime Minister... are you okay?"

Hearing his wife's question, Xiahou Dun's eyes flashed with Cao Cao's bloodshot eyes, his expression moved, and then he smiled: "My lord is safe..."

Mrs. Xiahou smiled. When she saw her husband, she seemed to be in a low mood. She thought something had happened to Cao Cao. Since Xiahou Dun said that the Prime Minister was fine, then it was other official matters. She also helped with any troubles on official matters.

Not too busy.

Xiahou Dun sat down in the back hall.

The setting sun sets in the backyard, dyeing everything a little red.

On trees, rocks, wooden boards.

There are also people...

Mrs. Xiahou sat next to Xiahou Dun, waiting quietly. She knew that he had something to say.

Sure enough, after a while, Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice: "After I go out, you close the house, close the door tightly, let the Xiahou family's children stay at home, and fewer servants are sent out..."

Xiahou Dun raised his head and looked at the tree in the courtyard with fallen leaves, "This autumn will be eventful...be careful..."

After saying that, Xiahou Dun stood up and said, "It's almost done. The horses should be ready. When I leave, the house will be left to you."

"Husband...you, where are you going?"

Xiahou Dun did not look back, "Go and kill people."

Mrs. Xiahou's pupils dilated and she was stunned for a moment, but when she saw Xiahou Dun was about to walk out of the backyard, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Husband!"

Xiahou Dun turned around.

"I, I am waiting for your husband to come back..." Mrs. Xiahou bowed slightly and saluted, "I have learned a new soup, and I will ask your husband to taste it when the time comes..."

Xiahou Dun nodded, then took the bag handed over by the guard, clasped it on his head, and walked into the brilliance of the setting sun.

……(???)……

Under the sunset.

dead tree.

Remaining wine.

One is sitting upright and the other is lying down.

Guo Jia hummed and smacked his lips, "How can we relieve our worries? Only good wine! One bottle of good wine, everything is worry-free! Two bottles of good wine, I have the world! Three bottles of good wine, the world is forever! Good wine... Hehe, four bottles of good wine

, Wen Ruowen is endless! 』

Faced with Guo Jia's ridicule, Xun Yu held a bottle of wine in his hand as if facing a glass of poisoned wine, "...Why do you have to kill people?"

"Why?" Guo Jia laughed loudly.

For Guo Jia and Xun Yu, some of Cao Cao's military actions were actually impossible to bypass them. But the lack of bypass made Xun Yu and Guo Jia even more helpless, mainly because of Xun Yu.

Is it possible that the soldiers were sent out for the autumn outing?

The sword is out of its sheath. If there is no blood, the sword will be dull.

This year, a lot of things happened.

"If we dig more holes, this house will collapse..." Xun Yu is like a diligent farmer, trying his best to maintain this shack with air leakage from all sides, but now, it feels like all his previous efforts have failed.

It's about to turn into nothing.

Not only are those outside the house being destroyed, but those inside the house are also being demolished.

Things seemed to take a turn for the worse all of a sudden.

But it seems to be a necessity.

During this year, due to the overall turmoil in the Han Dynasty and the need to catch up with Fei Qian's armament technology, military expenditures increased. On the other hand, many years of agricultural and mulberry foundations and transportation equipment also needed to be invested in repairs. Although

Under Xun Yu's careful calculation, he dealt with the past year after year, but the current events made his patchwork and wall-padding completely useless.

The conflict between Yingchuan and Cao Cao completely broke out.

At this moment, he was thinking about an order he came over yesterday.

The order came very suddenly, and it was about banditry nearby.

It is said that a thief appeared near Yingshui...

However, because Emperor Liu Xiedu is in Xu County, the surrounding bandits and thieves have been wiped out again and again, and in the official document issued yesterday, there was an additional group of "bandits". It was said that there was a group of

The thieves who were dissatisfied with Wang Hua had seriously disturbed the stability of Yingchuan, and because the Yingchuan field soldiers needed to take care of the autumn harvest, they took an expedient measure and temporarily sent Xiahou Dun to Yingchuan to suppress and eliminate the bandits.

Things are extremely weird.

But Xun Yu realized almost immediately that this was not a bandit...

Maybe they can be regarded as another kind of "bandit", but why use soldiers?

Once the soldiers are dispatched, the situation will become serious.

After all, if they were just ordinary bandits, then why bother to use Xiahou Dun? Some nearby armies and county soldiers from the counties could be mobilized, and then be led by a middle-level military academy. How could Xiahou Dun be allowed to take action?

Xun Yu even felt that this was Cao Cao's last warning.

As for who warned...

Xun Yu felt a bitter taste in his mouth while holding the wine bottle.

How are you going to spend this day?

Xun Yu knew Yingchuan's problems and what Cao Cao wanted. He even understood what the emperor Liu Xie longed for. But in this world, how could it be possible to have everything covered? What's more, these people all wanted the same thing.

something, benefit.

In other words, the authority to obtain benefits.

Has the "banditry" nearby really reached this level?

Xun Yu asked himself.

Then he found that he couldn't answer, as if he didn't know why Fei Qian was able to reconcile those desires, those interests, and the related authorities in Guanzhong...
To be continued...
