Chapter 86: The butt is still hot and it’s gone? [Please read and vote monthly]

When Cao Ang found Cao Cao.

He was instructing several servants in the study to pack some bamboo slips and gold and jade articles into boxes, as if he wanted to sort them first to avoid chaos when he moved away.

I looked up and saw my son pushing the door open and coming in.

Cao Cao first waved his hands to signal several of his servants to leave, then glared and said rather dissatisfiedly.

"Where have you been fooling around? I heard from your mother that you haven't returned home for two days and two nights. If you don't come back today, I will send people all over the streets to look for you!"

Mrs. Ding is in charge of all the maids in the house, including several maids in Cao Ang's backyard, so she is the first to know whether Cao Ang returns home.

Faced with his father's reprimand.

Cao Ang quickly put on a smile and said apologetically: "I was invited by a friend to have a drink the day before yesterday. I was so drunk that I just stayed at his house. I couldn't refuse the kindness, so it was postponed until today."

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang unhappily.

"I don't know why you suddenly made so many friends. I always remember that when you first came to Luoyang City with me, you liked to stay at home and didn't go out, and you didn't make any friends."

After a few words of education.

Cao Cao didn't bother with this topic anymore.

After all, my son is already so old, so some of his social interactions and life are reasonable, and he can't be kept by his side all the time.

If Madam hadn't been talking about it in his ears for the past two days, Cao Cao might not even bother to mention it.

…

After the father and son chatted for a few more words.

Cao Cao suddenly asked: "I have decided to officially leave Luoyang City in three days. Take a look at what else needs to be collected and prepared, and make arrangements in the past few days."

"Has the house been tidied up?"

Cao Cao nodded.

Then he pointed to several boxes that had been covered.

"I say it's tidying up, but actually there aren't many things. It's just messy. In the past two days, the previous yards have been tidied up."

"The only thing left is your own yard. It's not convenient for your mother and I to help you clean it up, so we'll wait for you to come back and take care of it ourselves."

Cao Ang didn't pay much attention to this.

What he could find in his yard were just small items, the most numerous of which were probably Diao Chan's clothes and various jewelry and miscellaneous items.

It can be collected in a few clicks.

The key is whether other things are arranged properly.

Cao Ang walked to the window in a few steps, looked out, then turned around and asked.

"What about the servants in the house? Have you told them about leaving Luoyang City? And what are the plans for our big house?"

"We've all asked, and those who didn't want to leave were given some money to send them away. The rest will follow us on the journey."

This is to be expected.

Among the servants of the Cao Mansion, not many have the right to personal freedom, and most of them sold themselves to the Cao family.

Some of the remaining people still work for the Cao family, and their entire family depends on the Cao family for food and clothing. Where else can they go if they don't leave with their master's family?

There are just some casual workers, maybe their parents live in some villages around Luoyang, and of course they want to get money to stay.

After answering my son's first question.

Cao Cao also followed and walked to the window.

He patted the window edge with his hand, and then said helplessly: "I want to sell this house, but no one can take over the problem!"

"Our house is large and in a good location. We spent a lot of money when we bought it. Now if we want to sell it, the price will naturally not be cheap."

"However, the city of Luoyang cannot be said to be stable now. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dong Zhuo is not a peaceful person. The price of food in Luoyang has been rising in a few days."

"If you don't have money, you can't afford such a big house. Those who have money won't think about buying a house at this time. They would rather spend money to stock up on food."

"So my father just thought that since no one cares about it, let's just leave it vacant here. When the Dong thieves are defeated in the future and we return to Luoyang, we can live here as is."

It's a beautiful thought.

But it's not possible.

Cao Ang knew clearly that the final outcome of Luoyang City was that it was completely destroyed by Dong Zhuo and turned into a complete ruin.

After deciding to evacuate to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo went crazy in the end and allowed his soldiers to loot, burn and kill in the city.

Destroyed homes and homes, looted wantonly.

After the robbery, they even set off a fire, burning the once prosperous and colorful capital of the Han Dynasty to a blackened state.

The Cao family's house cannot be sold now, and it will be burned to ashes in the future.

But what Cao Cao said is also true.

If no one buys it, no one buys it.

Even if the price is lowered, others will not take it over, and it is not taken advantage of. In such chaotic times, it is definitely necessary to keep cash in hand so that you can run away at any time.

As for the majority of middle-income people who cannot see the situation clearly, they may generously dig into their pockets, but the problem is that they don’t have that much money and cannot afford it.

This is very uncomfortable.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Ang finally failed to find a proper solution and had to give up.

Just burn it.

Anyway, a box of gold stolen from Dong Zhuo was enough to buy several houses like this.

…

After putting the house matters on hold for the time being.

Cao Ang walked around the room and suddenly saw the military seal letter placed on the table. He took it and played with it twice.

Then something seemed to come to mind.

He leaned into Cao Cao's ear and asked: "Father, will your seal as the Right Lieutenant General be useless in the future?"

Received his military talisman seal letter from Cao Ang.

He held it in his hand and rubbed it twice with his fingertips.

Then Cao Cao nodded with emotion.

"Yes, a minister who leaves his post privately without an order from the court, and leaves far away from Luoyang City, usually gives up his official position by default."

"In most cases, Beijing officials who choose to leave Beijing will return their seals to the government office. My father was just now considering whether to return the military talisman of General You Zhonglang."

for this official position.

Cao Cao felt extremely reluctant to part with him.

From the time I took office to the time I am ready to leave, it only takes half a month. I haven't even started to feel hot yet, so I have to stand up and leave.

It feels so painful in my heart!

It took a lot of effort to stand up from the empty shelf of Dianjun Lieutenant, and finally no longer had to sit on the cold mattress.

It seemed that good days were ahead and a better life was ahead, but the hot stove was burning and it stopped burning within two days.

How can we not feel heartbroken?

You must know that this is General You Zhonglang, a well-known senior military attaché in the imperial court. What's more, he still has two to three thousand soldiers and horses under his command, which is more valuable than Yuan Shu's tiger general Zhonglang.

If you say no now, it’s gone!

I can't breathe!

But it's not possible without giving up. Compared with the grand cause of resisting Dong Zhuo, such an official position is not that important.

As long as we recruit troops after leaving Luoyang City, assemble the army and prepare for war, and form a coalition to successfully defeat Dong Zhuo and revive the Han Dynasty, then such a small sacrifice will be worth it.

In fact, it was not only Cao Cao who felt heartbroken.

Cao Ang was also quite sorry.

What he regretted most was that of the thousands of soldiers and horses under his father's command, none of them could be brought out of Luoyang City, and dozens of soldiers were taken away after they were exhausted.

In fact, it was not that Cao Ang had never thought about taking away some of the soldiers belonging to his father through various means, but due to various objective conditions, he finally gave up this idea.

After all, unlike local governments which have autonomy, senior military attachés in the DPRK and Central Government must obtain an order from the imperial court if they want to mobilize troops, otherwise they will be suspected of causing rebellion.

What's more, Dong Zhuo couldn't just quietly watch him play this trick. As Captain Huben, he originally had two thousand troops. If he added his father's nearly three thousand men, it would be a full five thousand army.

.

Even if Dong Zhuo is a fool, he will sense that something is wrong and will definitely intervene.

What a pity!
