Chapter 9 Cao Cao's Old Base

Zhao Jian ran away!

At noon the next day, Chen Fei found that he could no longer find the Shangshu. Only then did he realize that Zhao Jian's intention to go east this time was not just to be ordered to visit Zhao Qi, but to take the opportunity to leave the court and seek a way out!

Chen Fei was so angry that he trembled all over!

Zhao Jian was sarcastic about his behavior of making friends with Duan Wei, Zhang Ji and other generals along the way, but he didn't expect that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes... instead ran faster than anyone else!

"I guess the uncle and nephew of Zhao must have gone south to Jingzhou to take refuge. This is just a normal person."

Zhang Miao was not surprised, but advised:

"Mr. Chen is a young man with a bright future, so he should plan for his future. Chang'an is surrounded by troops, even if the ministers and ministers are in danger of protection, why not take this great opportunity to escape from another clear path? If you don't mind Chenliu's destruction, you can just be here temporarily. Although I have no talent, I will not treat the wise men in the world unfairly."

Chen Fei bowed to him:

"I am grateful for my kindness, but I am a rural man. If I had not been saved by someone, I would have died of war and famine. At this moment, the benefactor is still in the tiger's den of Chang'an, how could I abandon it?"

Zhang Miao nodded and praised:

"In the troubled times, there are few loyal and righteous people, so how can I force them?"

Chen Fei bowed to him again and finally expressed his true intention:

"Before I left, the benefactor repeatedly instructed that Cao Yanzhou is a hero in the Central Plains. If you can find an opportunity, you might as well pay a visit to the minister. I heard that the Lord of the Mansion is a friend in Cao Yanzhou, can you recommend it on your behalf?"

Zhang Miao smiled while stroking his beard, and the favorability on his head quietly climbed by 2 points:

"What's the difficulty? When I write a letter, you will go straight to Juancheng. Although Meng De went out to war, there are officials and subordinates in Juancheng who treat you."

Chen Fei saluted him for the third time:

"Xie Fujun!"

-

Six days later, Chen Fei arrived at Juancheng 500 miles away alone.

Juancheng belongs to Dongping Kingdom. At this time, it was the time to harvest wheat. People busy in the fields could be seen everywhere. Chen Fei clearly saw that many soldiers were also actively participating in the farming. It was obvious that Cao Cao had implemented the strategy of military farming here.

Cao Cao had led a large army to conquer Xuzhou south, and the base was a little empty. Looking at the empty military camp, Chen Fei couldn't help but think: If Yuan Shao could send three or five thousand elite troops in, he would probably have killed Cao Cao in an instant!

He just thought about it casually, but unexpectedly saw a big banner with the word "Yuan" flying high not far away, and he couldn't help but feel a little creepy...

Could it be that a prophecy?!

-

Chen Fei did not become a crow's mouth. When he visited the mansion of the Yanzhou Mu, the big pendant outside the gate was still the word "Cao".

He waited in the gatehouse for a long time before finally waiting for someone to meet him. But to his disappointment, the officials who met him were not familiar figures such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, but were engaged in Zhizhong named Wan Qian.

"Mr. Chen has come all the way, and it's really hard. I'll ask you to drink this wine to relieve your fatigue."

Wan Qian raised the bronze lord in his hand and signaled him from afar.

As expected, there was no turbulent "0" on his head.

Chen Fei returned the salute respectfully, and then drank it all in one go:

"Thank you, Zhizhong."

Wan Qian put down Jiu Jue:

"I heard that Mr. Chen went east this time to visit Mr. Zhao. I wonder if it went well?"

Chen Fei nodded and replied as he watched the servant carefully add wine:

"The journey went smoothly, and the companion Zhao Shangshu had already received Zhao Taipu's return. He was thinking about the chaos in Guanzhong, so he was specially ordered by the benefactor to find Shandong heroes."

Wan Qian smiled and said:

"I wonder who is the benefactor of Minister Chen?"

Chen Fei's expression was slightly restrained:

"I dare not call my name well, but I am the Guanglu Grand Master Jia Gong."

The smile on Wan Qian's face suddenly faded away, and the favorability on his head quietly dropped to -2:

"Could it be... Is it because of the strong urgency of Li Guo and others to attack Chang'an, and even the old capital was ruined Jia Wenhe?"

Chen Fei did not deny it, but felt that the official really lacked the art of conversation:

"Yes. Wenhe Gong was just to protect himself. Over the past year, Li Guo has been cruel and unkind, and he often kills all officials. He also tries his best to protect..."

Wan Qian sighed and changed the topic:

"The generals in Liangzhou have caused trouble to Xijing, and the people are very distressed. I heard that there is always a matter of changing children and eating, but I wonder if it is exaggerated?"

Chen Fei shook his head calmly:

"Wars, harsh policies, famines, and epidemics, the eight hundred miles of Guanzhong are already naked. Just a few months ago, I saw a pavilion chief cooking human flesh to feed. Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital, in less than two years, the Sanfu households have lost at least half of it!"

Wan Qian shook his head slightly and sighed:

"The situation in the Central Plains is not optimistic. Although Zhang Jiao has been killed for many years, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are still in decline. A few months ago, he also attacked and killed the governor Liu of Yanzhou and many county magistrates. If it weren't for Cao Gong's wise and magical warriors and suppressing the rebellion for several months, these hundreds of thousands of hungry people would have caused a great chaos!"

Chen Fei straightened his back and took out Jia Xu's letter from his carry-on bag:

"Cao Yanzhou is the most hero in the world, so Doctor Jia is deeply admired by him. Although this is written by him only a few hundred words, every word is expressed in his heart. Unfortunately, he was not allowed to present it to Cao Gong in person. He also asked Wan Zhizhong to convey it on his behalf. Chen Fei thanked him here."

Wan Qian took it with both hands, and did not open it to check it out, but solemnly put it away:

"I already know Doctor Jia's intention. After Mr. Cao's triumphant success, he should convey it. If you have nothing to do, you can stay in Juancheng for a while."

Chen Fei thought for a moment and did not need to rush back to Chang'an, so he bowed:

"There is a kind of American in the world, and Fei is disrespectful to the point of being disrespectful. He is about to witness the health and prosperity of the people under Cao Gong's rule."

Wan Qian also smiled and turned his head to instruct the minor officials to arrange accommodation for Chen Fei.

Chen Fei asked inadvertently:

"Before entering the city, I seemed to see several Yuan-shaped banners before the military camp. I wonder which general's troops were?"

Wan Qian raised his eyebrows:

"This is not someone else, it is the banner of Yuan Benchu, the governor of Jizhou. Duke Yuan and Duke Cao have always been kind to each other. When they heard that the old Grand Marshal were killed, they immediately sent general Zhu Ling to the third battalion to help. Calculate that, Xun Wenruo and Cheng Zhongde should have been welcomed and sent to him."

Chen Fei's heart moved. He finally heard two familiar names and said with the flow:

"I have heard that Xun Wenruo is a famous scholar in the Central Plains for a long time. I would like to ask if I can pay my respects?"

Wan Qian glanced at him:

"Wen Ruo is a humble gentleman. Even if he is a commoner, he will be treated with courtesy. What's more, you are an envoy of the court and the Minister of the Secretariat? If you want to pay a visit, you will go to Sima's Mansion to submit the name of the sect in the morning to the morning of the morning."

Chen Fei clearly saw that the green number on the other party's forehead dropped from -2 to -5.

He bowed and thanked him, turned around and left.

Even though Wan Qian and Xun Yu assisted Cao Cao together, although the two may be very harmonious on weekdays, there are still some jealousy and hostility hidden deep in their hearts.
