Chapter 411 The Melancholy Cao Ang

As soon as the sky was dawn, Cao Ang and Cao Chun left Xiangyi and rushed to Chenliu along the official road.

Large areas of lily blue spread out on both sides of the road, green and purple stems mixed in the middle, mixing into some confusion. Cao Ang rode his horse and thought about his thoughts. He learned military tactics with his father since he was a child, and some of them were copied by him by himself. When he was young, he sat on his father's knee and listened to him explaining military tactics, he heard that Chenliu County was a place that must be fought for. Chenliu County was not only a granary, but also a famous brocade place in the world, especially the brocade in Xiangyi, which was also a must-choose for the emperor's dress.

Polygonum and dye are the most commonly used dyes, and they have an unparalleled status in Chenliu. To a certain extent, this is also Chenliu's blue blood. But can these beautiful plants still be preserved when the war comes? Isn't it blue blood all over the ground? He likes blue, he can't bear to see this scene, he wants to stop this scene, but he can't do anything. Whenever he thinks of this, he blames himself and feels melancholy.

"After the autumn harvest, these beans bloom and look very beautiful." Cao Ang said.

The horse hooves were heard quickly, and Cao Chun didn't hear what he said clearly. He turned to look at him and showed a puzzled look. Cao Ang pursed his lips, felt a little embarrassed, shook his head, indicating nothing. Cao Chun glanced at him, sighed secretly, but said nothing. He could see that Cao Ang was in a bad mood for the past period of time, and often sat alone and pondered alone, and sometimes he stood on the city wall for half a day.

He was probably frightened by Sun Ce. Cao Chun thought that he had fought with Sun Ce several times, and in one battle, he broke Xiahou Yuan. They were both injured in the next battle. Cao Cao was even more miserable in the third battle and the entire army was wiped out. Xiahou Dun was injured in his eyes and had no home to go back, so he had to go to Chang'an. Cao Ang fought with Cao Cao for so long, and the victory and defeat were common. Only when he lost three times with Sun Ce, he lost and left a shadow.

The father and son are not lucky. Cao Cao is already at a disadvantage compared to Sun Jian. Cao Ang and Sun Ce are far apart. Young people are very arrogant and will inevitably be a little afraid of fighting when they suffer such setbacks. However, this is his own hurdle. Whether he can walk over depends entirely on himself, and others cannot help.

Only by stepping over can he become a true famous general.

Cao Chun suddenly felt hesitant. Maybe he shouldn't go to Chang'an, but should stay here to help Cao Ang. Only by defeating Sun Ce once could Cao Ang overcome his psychological fear.

"Zi Xiu, why don't I stay and fight again before leaving." Cao Chun tied the reins of the horse and approached Cao Ang. "The revenge I was injured last time has not been avenged, so I am unwilling to accept it."

Cao Ang was tilting his head to look at Liao Lan on both sides and was fascinated by Cao Chun. He was suddenly interrupted and could not react. He looked at Cao Chun's concerned eyes in confusion, and then reacted. He shook his head and smiled shyly: "Uncle Zihe, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"It's really okay? I think you're not in a good mood these two days."

"It's really okay." Cao Ang blushed and whispered: "I'm not afraid of Sun Ce. I just think that many people will die again when the war comes. This piece of lye will be destroyed." His voice was too small, and Cao Chun didn't hear it. He always felt that he was not confident enough and wanted to encourage him, but he was afraid that he would hurt his self-esteem, so he had to keep silent.

The two of them walked quickly and arrived in Yongqiu when it was dawn. When Cao Cao went to Nanyang, he entrusted his family to Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao placed them in Yongqiu. First, it was convenient for Cao Ang to visit, and second, it was a granary for Yongqiu, which was convenient for food and the price of grain.

Cao Ang entered the city and headed straight to the courtyard. Mrs. Ding was sitting in the hall with a calm face and without saying a word. Mrs. Bian was with her side and spoke softly. Cao Ying led Cao Zhang, who was just three years old, and was feeding chickens in the courtyard. Cao Pi squatted aside, his eyes rolling around, not knowing what he was thinking. When Cao Ang saw it, he couldn't help laughing: "A Pi, are you greedy and want to eat chicken?"

When Cao Pi heard the sound, he flew over, jumped up, threw himself into Cao Ang's arms, and leaned into Cao Ang's ear and said, "Brother, we haven't eaten meat for a long time, I want to eat meat."

Cao Ang frowned slightly, and there was a little more worry in his eyes. "Have you eaten meat for a long time?"

"Yeah." Cao Pi nodded vigorously and secretly glanced at Mrs. Ding in the hall. "My mother is not allowed to say it."

Cao Ang patted Cao Pi's butt and whispered: "I have meat today, so I'll eat two more pieces."

"Okay." Cao Pi smiled, licked his lips, and swallowed. Cao Ying came over. "Brother, you are back."

"Well, I'm back, let me hug you." Cao Ang squatted down, picked up Cao Zhang, and raised him high. "It's heavy again, haha, are you afraid?"

"No, no, no, no," Cao Zhang smiled, revealing his neat little teeth, saliva slipped down the corner of his mouth and dripped on Cao Ang's armor. He was not very clear, but his strength was very strong, and his little feet made Cao Ang's breastplate slap. Cao Ang laughed. "A Zhang has such a lot of strength, he will definitely be a tiger general in the future."

Mrs. Ding was in a bad mood, but when she saw Cao Ang, she was immediately happy and waved to Mrs. Bian. "Okay, let's talk about the rest later. You can go and sell some wine and cut some meat first. Zi Xiu has worked hard to fight, so eat something good today."

Mrs. Bian bowed and agreed. Just as she was about to leave, Cao Ang hurried over with Cao Zhang. "Mother, don't need Mrs. Bian to be busy anymore. I will ask my personal guards to buy it. Recently, I have paid military salaries and there is still some leftovers. Take them back and buy some food for my younger brothers and sisters."

Mrs. Ding raised her eyebrows lightly and nodded. "Okay. Then you go and arrange it, you don't have to accompany you here."

Mrs. Bian turned around and went. Cao Ang hugged Cao Zhang and sat in front of Mrs. Ding. Mrs. Ding gave him a blank look and whispered: "Is it necessary for a concubine brother to spoil him so much? My compatriots and sisters didn't see you in love with me so much."

"Mother, Ah Weng is not at home, it depends entirely on you and Mrs. Bian's management. Why bother with legitimate sons and illegitimate sons? They are all mothers' children."

Mrs. Ding snorted, but said nothing. Cao Pi stood at the steps from afar and did not dare to go to the hall. Seeing this, Cao Ying held his hand into the hall and sat on the other side of Mrs. Ding. "Mother, you are a little biased. Brother is not back, you can't see a smile for a few days. When Brother comes back, your eyes are so thin."

"You unconscienced girl, am I not treating you?" Mrs. Ding said angrily: "Are you unhappy when your brother is back?"

"Happy, happy." Cao Ying smiled and said, "Just brother's body is so scented, so I don't know how to wash it."

"Oh, it's all like this in the military camp, but I can't blame you brother. By the way, Zixiu, why did you come back suddenly?"

Cao Ang put down Cao Zhang, asked Cao Ying to take his two younger brothers aside to play, and then told him what he thought. Mrs. Ding also put away her smile and looked slightly. "You said that, you, Aweng is in Chang'an and really needs someone to take care of. Bian is another one. Let her go to Chang'an and have more children, so as not to do anything outside again. Zixiu, Yuan Tan is coming to Yanzhou, are you planning to pay a visit?"

"Are going to go."

"Don't be anxious." Mrs. Ding looked around and lowered her voice. "I heard that Zhang Mengzhuo hasn't set off yet."

Cao Ang was surprised. "Zhang Mengzhuo did not go to visit Yuan Envoy? Why?"

Mrs. Ding shook her head. "I don't know why. I'm just looking for an opportunity to ask you, but I didn't expect you to know either. Didn't you hear anything when you were by your Ahon?"

Cao Ang shook his head, pondered for a while, and said, "I heard from Ah Weng that Zhang Mengzhuo blamed the leader of the Yuan during the Sour Jujube League. But that is all the righteousness of a friend, so I won't be so upset, right?
