"Uncle? The King of Jibei calls Uncle Feng Mingwen?"

"Exactly."

Xin Xianying still didn't believe it: "Did you hear wrongly?"

"No." Yang Hu shook his head, "He said it in front of me, and he said it more than once, so he can't be wrong."

After receiving the affirmative answer, Xin Xianying couldn't help but think deeply:

"There are rumors in the world that King Chen (i.e. Cao Zhi) personally admitted that Feng Mingwen far surpassed him and had eight points of talent in the world. It seems that this is indeed true."

"If the friendship between the two had not reached this point, how could the King of Jibei call Uncle Feng Mingwen?"

Then she looked at Yang Hu and finally understood:

"Do you want to ask the King of Jibei?"

Yang Hu nodded: "My aunt's words are exactly what my nephew wants."

The princes and kings of the Wei Dynasty were so severely restricted that they could even be said to be in captivity. Even relatives and in-laws did not dare to ask each other.

If the King of Jibei wanted to reply to Feng Mingwen, it would not be very convenient.

When the time comes, I can come to my door and help out by the way.

"This method is very good." Xin Xianying praised, "Even if there is no reply, you can still take the opportunity to ask him to write a letter of recommendation."

If you want to become an official and ask for recommendations, it will naturally be embarrassing.

But studying is not shabby.

As a scholar, no matter how much you ask, you will never be embarrassed.

Otherwise, how can we call it studying?

Before Mr. Feng established Nanxiang College, who among the poor children who wanted to acquire knowledge could not ask for it?

As for Cangtou Guizhou, he didn't even have the chance to ask for help.

Xin Xianying heard Yang Hu's explanation and nodded slowly:

"That being said, I don't have to worry about you anymore."

The friendship between Feng Mingwen and Chen Wang is a good story in the literary world.

As long as the King of Jibei is willing to recommend him, Feng Mingwen will not embarrass his nephew, whether it is because of King Chen's reputation or the "uncle".

After the discussion, Yang Hu no longer hesitated and asked people to pack their luggage and get ready.

He went to the neighboring Kingdom of Jibei again to visit the King of Jibei.

Cao Zhi was very happy to learn about Yang Hu's intention:

"I have a letter that I want to send to Chang'an. My uncle came just in time!"

As for the letter of recommendation, although Cao Zhi said he did not know the situation of the Royal Academy, it was still okay to write a letter to praise Yang Hu.

This is true anyway.

Because Uncle Yang is indeed quite famous in Guandong.

Yang Hu got the letter he wanted and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly thanked Cao Zhi and promised:

"Your Highness, please rest assured that Hu will do his best to get this matter done for Your Highness."

Cao Zhi looked grateful: "Then Uncle Lao will be here."

Yang Hu didn't know that the letter on his body was actually a cover.

The real secret message belongs to Cao Miao.

Moreover, Cao Miao was already in the caravan in disguise.

With Uncle Yang as cover along the way, the King of Jibei believed that his brother's safety would be more secure.

After all, the heritage of the Shandong Yang family is many times richer than that of the Prince of Jibei.

A few days later, a small caravan met up with Uncle Yang's team and headed west together.

As Cao Zhi expected, with the loss of Luoyang, the Han army threatened Guandong, and General Cao took the emperor and fled to Qiao County overnight.

The Central Plains area suddenly fell into turmoil and chaos.

Yang Hu and his party headed west along the river, and all the counties they passed were filled with panic.

Even the county soldiers close to Luoyang County have been dispersed.

Especially in Chenliu, which is adjacent to Luoyang, not only the defenders, but also the common people fled with very little left because they were afraid of the disaster of war.

Looking at the lifeless Suanzao County, Yang Hu couldn't help but sigh with sadness:

"In the past Emperor Wu raised his troops in Chenliu and met with the princes at Suanzao to attack Dong Zhuo."

"After decades of hard fighting, the foundation of the Wei Dynasty was laid."

"In just over twenty years, the Wei Dynasty has become like this."

"This can be said that future generations do not know the difficulties of their ancestors in founding the country, and abandon the country like grass and mustard."

The Han Dynasty's move to capture Luoyang was truly ruthless.

Not only did it completely open the gate to Kanto, it was also stuck on the edge of the river, in the transition zone between the spheres of influence of Taifu Sima and General Cao.

Moreover, Chenliu County was originally considered an inner county of the Wei Dynasty and had not had many troops stationed there for many years.

Once in Luoyang, General Cao was just escaping, but why did he think of sending troops to Chenliu?

And suddenly, he couldn't muster enough troops.

Whether it is Nanyang or Yangzhou, it is impossible to easily deploy garrison troops.

Unless General Cao sends all 30,000 imperial troops from Xuchang - this is of course impossible.

Otherwise, he would not have ordered Wang Ling to send troops and horses to Qiao County to protect him.

As a result, before the Han army arrived, there were almost no people left in Jujube.

Thinking of this, Yang Hu couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "It's really difficult to rise or die!"

Standing not far away, Cao Miao, disguised as a caravan manager, couldn't help but have a sad look on his face.

After passing Jujube, we arrived at Guandu.

If Chenliu is where Cao Cao raised his troops, then Guandu is where Cao Cao established his northern hegemony.

Guandu at this time is no longer the same Guandu as before - just as the Wei Dynasty at this time is no longer the Wei Dynasty in the past.

With an increasingly sad mood, he continued to the west, with Xingyang and Chenggao in sight.

At that time, Emperor Gaozu was defeated repeatedly in battles. Finally, he withstood Xiang Yu in Xingyang and Chenggao, and was able to turn defeat into victory.

Chenggao, in particular, can be said to be the most important city east of Luoyang, and it is also a fortress.

Some people may not be familiar with the name Cheng Gao.

But if you talk about Hulao Pass, you should know it.

Xingyang and Chenggao actually belong to the same defense system.

Not far to the west of Xingyang City is the Songshan Mountains.

Chenggao is located at the intersection of Si River and Yellow River.

It faces the Sishui River in the front, the Yellow River in the north, and Songshan Mountain in the south. It is the most dangerous place.

Xingyang and Chenggao are integrated into each other, forming an echoing horn.

If you want to capture Luoyang from the east, both must be captured.

Yang Hu and his party originally thought that all the officials in Suanzao and other places had fled, and probably not even a single person could be seen in Xingyang, which is the closest place to Luoyang.
