Chapter 226 Cai Yan's whereabouts(1/2)
Chapter 226: Whereabouts of Cai Yan
The owner of the stay this time was Liu An, who was said to be very cruel to his wife. When Liu An saw Liu Bei, he looked like he saw his own father. He knelt down at that time, and his face was filled with tears. His face was even more real than Liu Bei cried.
If it were normal, Liu Bei would probably have to show some respect for the wise and polite person. But today it is not possible. There are not many people along the way, and now they are hungry and put on their chests on their backs. Since Liu An likes him so much, he will be polite. He helped Liu An up and said anxiously, "Is there any food to eat, I'm almost starving to death."
Although Liu Bei is not doing well now, he usually promotes well, and the identity of the royal relatives is well known. Liu An, a poor man, was so happy when he saw Liu Bei. He must do everything possible to please him.
I was planning to get some wild game for Liu Bei to eat, but it was not so easy to get a hare rabbit, pheasant and other things in the cold weather. Liu An’s family didn’t have much food anymore. Seeing that Liu Bei’s eyes were green, there was definitely not enough food. However, this opportunity to please the royal relatives must not be spared.
So Liu An gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said to Liu Bei, "Uncle Emperor, wait, the villain will go and prepare food for theUncle Emperor."
After saying that, Liu An moved into the backyard.
"Brother, I'll go pee." Seeing that Liu An was going to prepare a human flesh feast, Zhou Tian quickly found an excuse to follow him.
With a whisper, he walked closer to the kitchen and saw Liu Anzhang holding a hatchet and trying to chop a woman's back.
The woman was choosing weeds at this moment, and she didn't know at all that her husband wanted to stew herself in order to please a uncle who didn't know the truth or the falsehood.
"What are we going to eat tonight?" Zhou Tian suddenly said as the moment Liu An swung his giant sword.
Liu An was frightened by Zhou Tian, and when he loosened his hand, the hatchet fell to the ground.
At this time, Liu An's wife also turned around.
This time she turned around, not only did Liu An feel a little at a loss, but Zhou Tian was also a little stupid. Well, his face was much more powerful than Lin Chong. His whole face looked like a steamed bun that had been worn by nail shoes. It was probably someone who believed it was a new species of gorilla that had just been discovered in the zoo.
Zhou Tian could also understand why Liu An was able to remain calm after killing his wife, without any regret.
Although Liu An's wife looked almost out of shape, she had a good temper. Seeing Liu An's appearance, she didn't say much and swung her mouth over with her mouth.
Liu An didn't even snort, and rolled into the pile of firewood.
"Liu An, what do you want to do to me with a hatchet?" Liu's wife stood up and scolded Liu An, who was about to fall into shock in the haystack.
Liu's wife was not much when she sat, but when she stood up, she was even more scary. Her head was taller than Guan Yu. Judging from her body, she definitely had the potential to be the number one general of the Three Kingdoms. No wonder "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" says that Liu An's wife's flesh on her arm could make Liu Bei and Sun Qian full. Such a large piece of meat could be eaten even if Zhang Fei came.
"No... nothing... our guest is here, I want you to greet him..." Liu An looked at Zhou Tian resentfully and said to his wife tremblingly.
"Guest?" Liu's wife looked at Zhou Tian and said, "Is this the uncle Liu Bei?"
"I'm Liu Bei's fourth brother, my elder brother is waiting in the house to eat your meat... and is resting." Zhou Tian bowed.
"Uncle Liu is indeed here, so I want to greet him well. Liu An, hurry up and go hunting. If I can't get anything back today, I will stew you for Uncle Liu as a meal." When he heard that Uncle Liu is coming, Liu's wife was so happy. She took a look at the water tank, took a desperate order to Liu An, and then jumped to the front room to greet Liu Bei.
Zhou Tian glanced at Liu's wife who was leaving happily, then at Liu An lying in the haystack, and couldn't help but sigh, "I am really a child in the world!"
Liu An dared not to listen to Liu's wife's words, so he asked Zhou Tian to help tell Liu Bei that he would hunt in the mountains with a bow and arrow. He probably was really afraid that his wife would stew him.
"Uncle Emperor, I'll make you a rabbit for you later." When Zhou Tian returned to the front room, Liu's wife was acting coquettishly at Liu Bei. As the two light bulbs were circulating, some electric flowers were released from time to time.
Liu Bei's right face kept twitching, looking like he was in dire straits.
"Uncle Emperor, do you like stewed rabbits or braised rabbits?"
"What I do best at is the red rabbit, tender and fragrant."
"Uncle Emperor, you say something..."
Liu's wife struggled with Liu Bei for an afternoon, and it was not until Liu An came back with a rabbit that was thinner than a pheasant that Liu's wife calmed down for a while.
Liu's wife was planning to wait for Liu Bei to have dinner and chat with him, but Liu Bei's boy monkey spirit quickly stripped his clothes and got into the house prepared by Liu An. She covered her quilt and fell asleep, without giving Liu's wife a chance at all.
The next morning, Liu Bei got up early. Before dawn, he left a letter of thanks to Liu An and his wife and quickly set off.
When they walked to noon, a few people saw a large army, and the military flag read "Cao". There is no need to ask that this must be Cao Cao's army.
When Liu Bei saw Cao Cao, he cried bitterly, brewed his feelings, and grabbed Cao Cao's hand.
However, Cao Cao did not open his eyes to Liu Bei at all, but stared at Zhou Tian in a daze. After avoiding Liu Bei's big hand, he gave Zhou Tian a fierce hug. "Haha, it's really you. Skin it. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Why can't you tell me that I'm old at all?"
When Zhou Tian saw Cao Cao, he was also happy. In Luoyang City, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Zhou Tian had a good relationship. With the same smell as the three of them, they were naturally much better than Liu Bei, the cheapest brother.
"I'm doing well." Zhou Tian laughed and said to Cao Cao, "You are very worried about being a leader now. Your beard is white, haha."
"Who said it was not? I was intrigued all day long. I really miss when I was in Luoyang. Oh, that boy Yuan Shao was flirting with me all day long, and I was so annoyed." Cao Cao whispered to Zhou Tian, "Why are you getting together with Liu Bei? I'll tell you that this boy is not a good thing. Be careful and don't let him sell it."
"Haha, don't worry, you don't know me yet." Zhou Tian smiled.
Cao Cao and Zhou Tian were so hot that Liu Bei would not have paid attention to him. If Guo Jia had not reminded him, Cao Cao would have forgotten Liu Bei's fault.
"Save me, Mr. Cao." Liu Bei's feelings were wasted in the effort of Zhou Tian and Cao Cao. Now, when Cao Cao came over, he had to brew again. After a while, he grabbed Cao Cao's hand and told everything about these days.
Cao Cao was listening to Liu Bei's complaints, but he was thinking about how to have a long talk with Zhou Tian at night. As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, he immediately arranged a tent for him to rest.
"Meng De, I forgot to ask you something. Cai Yan's girl is in Xudu now. How is she doing?" After Liu Bei was arranged to leave, Zhou Tian suddenly remembered what Cai Yan was doing and asked Cao Cao.
"Uh... Cai Yan..." Cao Cao was hesitant when he spoke. He was so virtuous when he stuttered back then.
"What's wrong with her? Talking, don't play puzzles with me." Zhou Tian had a bad premonition when he saw Cao Cao's appearance.
"He was captured by the Zuo Xianwang of the Huns." Cao Cao lowered his head and said.
"What, I've taken it away!!" Zhou Tian was anxious and raised Cao Cao. "How did I tell you the fuck, how did you promise me? You said you could help me take care of Cai Yan, why is she still being captured by that Zuo Xianwang!"
Cao Cao asked Zhou Tian to lift him in the air, and his guards were naturally shocked. Xu Chu, who was more than two meters tall, quickly stepped forward to subdue Zhou Tian.
"Get out of here!" Zhou Tian held Cao Cao in one hand, but in the other hand, he pushed Xu Chu out four or five meters and fell directly to the ground.
Zhou Tian's appearance scared everyone else silly. Who is Xu Chu? Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, who is more than two meters tall, must be weak, but now he has no power to fight back at Zhou Tian.
"Lord!" Cao Cao's guards, including Xu Chu, all pulled out their swords.
"Everyone retreated!!" Cao Cao waved his hand to the guards and sighed, "Dong Zhuo went to Beijing and Cai Yong was highly valued. He had a very high status in the court. I thought Cai Yan would never have any trouble in the Cai Mansion. But I escaped from Luoyang because of assassination of Dong Zhuo. There was neither a chance nor a reason to take Cai Yan out of the Cai Mansion. Later, we waited for the eight princes to attack Dong Zhuo, but we didn't expect Dong Zhuo to burn Luoyang. It was because of that time that Cai Yan disappeared. Later, after asking thousands of questions, I found Cai Yan's trace. It turned out that she was captured by Zuo Xianwang, the Xiongnu who came down to rob him in the south."
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhou Tian calmed down, put Cao Cao down from mid-air, and said, "Meng De, do you have a way to save Yan'er back?"
Zhou Tian could not imagine how Cai Yan's wealthy daughter lived in the bitter and cold land in the north. Now Zhou Tian's only thought was to save Cai Yan.
"Sorry, I can't help you." Cao Cao lowered his head. "Although Cai Yan has always preferred to die, the Zuo Xianwang of the Huns liked her very much. If an ordinary woman could be brought back through negotiation, Cai Yan couldn't do it unless she used force, but the Huns were powerful, with my current strength..."
"Meng De, I don't ask you to send troops to fight against the Huns. I just hope you can advance troops quickly to attack Lu Bu. Can you give Lu Bu to me at that time?" Zhou Tian knew about Cao Cao's difficulties, so Zhou Tian did not expect Cao Cao to send troops to rescue Cai Yan, but Cao Cao would not save him but had to go. Of course, this had to be prepared, and Lu Bu would be his greatest help.
"Okay, I will order the camp to be detached now, and we will attack Xuzhou overnight." Cao Cao nodded and immediately ordered the army to set off.
The entire army advanced quickly and arrived in Jibei in the afternoon of the same day. This was the place where Xiahou Dun had camped and rested after his left eye was injured.
When the two armies met, Cao Cao was shocked when he heard that Xiahou Dun was injured and hurriedly found the account to investigate him.
"Yuan Rang, are you okay? How could you be so seriously injured?" Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun were of the same clan, and Xiahou Dun was even more capable generals of Cao Cao, so Cao Cao was still very worried about Xiahou Dun's injuries.
"The last general is incompetent, so he let the Gaoshun army's small and medium-sized college shoot the left eye, causing the entire army to be defeated." Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw Cao Cao see him.
"Let's not talk about victory or defeat for the time being. I will order someone to send you back to Xu Du to recover from your injuries." Cao Cao waved his hand and was about to order.
But at this time, I heard Zhou Tian say, "Meng De, I have a wonderful method here to cure General Xiahou."
Xiahou Dun is quite famous for eating his own eyes, and Zhou Tian had already expected this.
"Lord, this is..." Xiahou Dun turned sideways when he heard this, and couldn't help asking when he saw Zhou Tian's appearance.
Cao Cao is different from Liu Bei. He is now a famous entrepreneur, with a big family and a big business, and a status. Moreover, Cao Cao is more sinister and cares about titles. Apart from Cao Cao's elders, there are not many people who dare to call Cao Cao. Yuan Shao, Hebei is one, and Yuan Shao, Runan is also one, but others either call Cao Gong or Cao thief, and Cao Cao's subordinates even call him the lord. Therefore, Xiahou Dun was very curious about Zhou Tian, a young man who dared to call Cao Cao in his twenties.
"This is my old friend when I was in Luoyang, Zhou Tian, Zhou Baopi." After Cao Cao introduced it, he said to Zhou Tian again, "You can really make Yuan Long cure... By the way, you were the book boy of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo back then, so you should have some magic medicine."
"There is no magic medicine, but there is a sticker for the plaster." Zhou Tian took out a talisman from his pocket and "put it on General Yuanlong's left eye, and the injury will be healed without a moment."
"This matter is true." Cao Cao looked at the thin piece of paper in Zhou Tian's hand and said with some doubt.
"Let's watch." Zhou Tian walked to Xiahou Dun and posted the talisman on his forehead.
After a while, Xiahou Dun suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted, "Okay, okay, really, Mr. Zhou is a miracle doctor."
Zhou Tian’s talisman could not make Xiahou Dun’s eyes grow again, and could only heal his wounds, but despite this, it was enough to amazed Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun.
"Lord, this time when attacking Lu Bu, please let the general be the vanguard. The general will no longer disappoint the lord's expectations." Xiahou Dun was excited for a while, and suddenly half-kneeled in front of Cao Cao and asked for his resignation. He thought he had no chance to redeem his sins, but Zhou Tian's magical plaster gave him this opportunity, so Xiahou Dun must use the blood of Lu Bu to pay tribute to his parents' eyes.
"Okay, Yuan Rang, then you will be the vanguard, placing Xuzhou and capturing Lu Bu alive." Seeing that Xiahou Dun was alive, Cao Cao was naturally very happy, so he ordered Xiahou Dun to be the vanguard, leading the vanguard army of 5,000 people and attacking Xuzhou City.
After Cao Cao gave orders to Xiahou Dun, he followed Guo Jia's advice and ordered Cao Ren to attack Xiaopei with three thousand soldiers.
After several orders were arranged, Cao Cao was not idle either. The next morning, he asked the army to rectify and set out to meet Xiahou Dun's vanguard army.
However, when the army arrived at Xiaoguan, they saw the camp of Xiahou Dun, the vanguard army.
It turned out that there were 30,000 defenders in Xiaoguan. With Xiahou Dun's 5,000 troops, it was impossible to break through this pass, let alone attack Xuzhou in a hurry.
"General Xiahou, Lu Bu can be above this pass." Zhou Tian asked directly when he saw Xiahou Dun.
If Lu Bu could be the best at Xiao Guan, isn’t it a popular one-on-one challenge now? As long as he has the opportunity to fight Lu Bu, he will definitely be able to defeat Lu Bu.
Xiahou Dun shook his head and said, "Xiao Guan is the guardian of Chen Gong, and Lu Bu is not at the Guan. Chen Gong is resourceful. No matter how the last general scolds, this person just can't stand it, so the last general cannot move forward at all."
"It's Chen Gong..." Cao Cao frowned when he heard that it was Chen Gong who was guarding him. Cao Cao and Chen Gong were old acquaintances. This person was the guy who was angry with Cao Cao, "I would rather teach me to betray the people of the world than to betray me." This person had a very smart head. It's not a question that Xiahou Dun could not break this pass by guarding him.
"Fengxiao, what are you going to do?" The most powerful of Cao Cao's advisers is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, the genius of the Three Kingdoms. If this person hadn't died early, he would have been comparable to Zhuge Liang. If Cao Cao had made his fortune in his early years, it would have been this person.
"Don't worry, lord, lord forgot that we still have inner supporters in Lu Bu, but I'm afraid that someone will bring us a trick without long time." Guo Jia smiled lightly and said confidently.
"Fengxiao means Chen Gui and his son." Cao Cao also remembered "But they..."
Halfway through Cao Cao's words, soldiers reported outside the tent, saying that three secret letters were found from the arrow shot down by the viewing.
After receiving the secret letter, Cao Cao Zhanyan laughed loudly, "You are really a god to be filial to you."
