Han Shimou

Chapter 42 Traveling to Luoyang

"Hahaha, this Yuan Benchu ​​is really heartless. He is not ashamed of stealing a dragon for a phoenix."

Suddenly, Cao Cao laughed to himself.The rest of the banquet looked puzzled, not knowing why.

Seeing this, Cao Cao stopped laughing and said, "A few days ago, that Yuan Benchu ​​told someone Cao that he had found the person who invented the horse-sling. At that time, Bufan hadn't pretended to be crazy. Someone Cao thought that Yuan Benchu ​​must be wrong." I hope Bufan will get rich and honor, and just find someone who is familiar with the horse crane to replace him. However, there are days in the dark. Anyway, Bufan, you are willing to go to Luoyang, the capital city, with Mr. Cao. General He was born in a butcher, you can He is said to be the most powerful poor family in the world. He will definitely not look down on you who are also from a poor family like the Yuan brothers in Runan."

Cao Cao stared at Wen Han with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.At this time, Wen Han was very happy in his heart. After the ambush by the nobles of Xie County, after Wen Han escaped from the dead, he had been thinking about finding a powerful person and becoming an attachment first, otherwise he might not wait until the Yellow Turban. During the chaos, he, Wen Han, was murdered to death by those wealthy families.That's why he pretended to be crazy and stupid to avoid the eyes of the wealthy family.

As Cao Cao said, He Jin was originally a butcher with a humble background. Because of God's favor, his sister married into the palace and was favored by Emperor Ling of Han as the queen of a country.He Jin was able to climb up again and again, relying on nepotism to sit on the position of general.Wen Han is attached to He Jin, although there is no guarantee that he will be reused, but at least He Jin will never murder Wen Han because of his family's opinion, because both he and Wen Han come from poor families!

"How dare Wen Bufan refuse Meng De's invitation. It's just that I still have something to do in Xie County, and I need to make some arrangements. I think about going to Luoyang by myself in a few days. There are two other things, I dare to leave, and I need Mr. Cao's consent before I dare to leave. "

"Oh, do you want Cao to keep this matter secret, and then secretly recommend Bufan to General He?"

"Meng De's heart is bright, I admire it. This Runan Yuan family hates me to the bone. It is easy to block the open sword, but hard to guard against the hidden arrow. I am weak and dare not fight against it."

"Okay, Mr. Cao understands the profound meaning of Uncommon. These two things are not difficult, Mr. Cao has agreed to you. In the future, in Luoyang, it will definitely add a lot of fun to have Bufan accompany you. Hahaha."

Cao Cao seemed very happy and drank three cups in a row.Afterwards, because Wenhan made a decision about Luoyang, the banquet came to **, and everyone was drunk, talking nonsense, and passed out before giving up.

This was difficult for Mrs. Lin who was cleaning up the banquet. Mrs. Lin ordered Cao Cao to be sent back to the mansion first, and then asked to carry Wen Han, Zhou Long, Xu Huang, and Guan Yu back to their respective rooms.After working for more than half an hour, the manor was cleaned up and quiet.

In the early morning of tomorrow, Wen Han got up and finished the training. Wen Han found Lin, and Lin informed Wen Han of the results and income of the horse crane competition.

For the horse crane competition, excluding the prize money, the income from the entrance fee alone reached a huge amount of 8000 taels.In addition, Lin bought several restaurants in advance. During the horse crane competition, the restaurant's business was booming, with a net income of 3 taels, and the sum of the two places was about [-] taels.

According to Lin, the final winner of the horse crane competition was a scholar dressed as a knight.His name seems to be Xu Fu.

When Wen Han heard the word Xu Fu, his calm face suddenly changed, and he stood up quickly and asked Lin where he was.Seeing Wen Han flustered, Mrs. Lin told him that Xu Fu had already left for a few days, and now he should be nowhere to be found.

Wen Han was disappointed after hearing this.Xu Fu, this is the real name of the super counselor 'Xu Shu', who should be murdered and renamed as Fu, was chased and killed by the government, and finally captured, and was rescued by many parties to escape, and then renamed Xu Shu.

Xu Shu is a man of great talent, and together with Shi Tao, Meng Gongwei, and Zhuge Liang, they are called the "Four Friends of Zhuge".At first he was Liu Bei's military adviser.He is resourceful and decisive, predicting things like a god, and won Liu Bei's trust.

In the Battle of Fancheng, Xu Shu saw through Cao Ren's "eight-door golden lock formation" and defeated Cao Cao's officers and soldiers.Cao Cao's general Cao Ren refused to admit defeat, and in the middle of the night, he raised his troops to rob the village in Xinye.Xu Shu had expected it a long time ago, and when Cao Ren left Fancheng, he took advantage of the vacancy.As a result, Fancheng fell.

Cao Ren retreated to Xuchang, ashamed of Cao Cao.Cao Cao said: "Liu Bei must have capable people to plan for him!"

Cao Cao found out that it was Xu Shu, so he wanted to trick him into Xu Chang and keep him by his side.

They imitated Xu Shu's mother's handwriting to write to Xu Shu.When Xu Shu saw the letter and learned that his mother was in custody in Xuchang, he had to bid farewell to Liu Bei in tears.But after arriving at Cao Ying, he never said a word or plan again.This shows his loyalty.

such a pity.Since I let this super talented person slip away in front of my eyes.However, Xu Fu is still traveling around to study at this time, and he has not yet completed his studies. If he is brought here too early, he is not obliterating his future.Thinking of this, Wen Han also let go of his knot.

At night, Zhou Long came back from the county government office.After dinner, everyone happened to discuss matters in the hall.

When Wen Han went to Luoyang this time, he planned to bring only Guan Yu and Xu Huang with him.Pei Yuanshao stayed in Xie County to train soldiers and horses, and at the same time he could take care of Zhou Long and his wife, in case the nobles in Xie County retaliated.

Wen Han told Zhou Long and his wife about Zhou Cang and Li Qiang's dispersal of soldiers from Shuanglong Mountain to open gambling houses in various counties, and told them that if Zhou Cang and Li Qiang's men came to look for them and needed manpower or financial support, they would give them assistance. .Zhou Long and his wife are used to obeying Wen Han's words, so they agreed immediately.

Later, Wen Han asked Zhou Long and his wife to secretly order blacksmiths to make stirrups and saddles, and to purchase good horses. Wen Han planned to expand the number of black wind riders to 600.Since He Shuang became the county magistrate, Wen Han went to talk to him for several hours, and the two seemed to have made some agreements.He Shuang strongly supported Wen Han, and organized Wen Han's private soldiers into the Xie County military camp. Ying Wenhan pretended to be stupid, and promoted Pei Yuanshao to the position of Yajiang, and jointly managed the soldiers and horses of the Xie County military camp with Yang Dian.

After Yang Hong left, Yang Dian was not implicated. He Shuang trusted him a lot and still let him sit on the position of long history.

After Wen Han arranged the matter, he ordered people to buy a carriage, and set off for Luoyang with Guan Yu and Xu Huang the next day.

Luoyang is named for its location on the north bank of the ancient Luoshui River, because peonies are in full bloom and can be seen everywhere.The peony flowers are huge, with various varieties and unique colors. When the flowers bloom, Luoyang City is crowded with people to see the beauty and beauty of the peony.There is also a saying that the Luoyang peony is the best in the world.Known as the Peony City.

Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang, all the way down, saw different scenery.Outside the city of Luoyang, there were naked refugees everywhere. They were so hungry that only their skeletons were left. Seeing Wenhan's expensive carriage with two horses leading him, they would come to ask for food. Wenhan divided his rations. , Later, there was only a little left, so he had no choice but to ask Xu Huang to give some broken silver.

After that, it became a vicious circle. The refugees dictated to each other that there was a good man who gave food and money, and all the refugees rushed to them, and followed Wenhan's carriage, forming a long procession.

Guan Yu and Xu Huang saw that the refugees were yellow and thin, and some of them hadn't eaten for half a month. Some old people and children were knocked down repeatedly because of their slow walking, and their wounds were bleeding, and they were still chasing after them.

Unknowingly, these two imposing nine-foot men were infected by this picture, and their eyes were moist.Around Xie County, although there are also refugees, but not many, their health is not bad, and they eat once every two or three days.At least not as miserable as the group of refugees in front of them.

"Luoyang is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. There are so many refugees who can't wear or eat food. Good! Good! This court official has done a good job!" Wen Han laughed angrily, and stopped the carriage.Ask Xu Huang to take out all the food and silver, and then ask Guan Yu to go over and bring the old people and children first, and give priority to the distribution of food and silver.

Some young refugees secretly robbed the elderly and children of food and silver, fearing that they would be late in the queue.Seen by the sharp-eyed Xu Huang, he ran over immediately, grabbed a few young men, and beat them up severely.

Wen Han sighed again and again, the world is so big, there are so many refugees, he helped some, but not all.Relief for one day cannot save a lifetime.Later, when the food and silver distributions were finished, Wen Han got into the carriage with a sad face, while Xu Huang and Guan Yu grabbed the whips and left quickly.

It was nearly two days away from Luoyang City. Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang originally wanted to save more food for the refugees. They didn't eat much these days, and their stomachs were already collapsed from hunger.

Wen Han's face was pale, his lips were dry, and his whole body was weak.Sitting behind the carriage, he was silent.

Another day passed, and after taking a break on the way, Wen Han was sleeping when Guan Yu shook him awake.Guan Yu gave Wen Han a wink and signaled to go out.

Wen Han stepped out of the carriage, and saw a group of refugees following up. They stood not far away with dull eyes, not daring to get too close. They knew that the three of them had no food or silver.However, I was so hungry that I had no choice but to follow along with my consciousness.

Wen Han laughed, and then asked Guan Yu to slaughter the two horses in the carriage. The refugees were immediately happy, and they found firewood from everywhere, and roasted the two horses.Horse meat was unpalatable, but at this time it was the best food in the world, as long as it could fill your stomach.

A lot of refugees came rushing forward and kept pushing forward. Guan Yu and Xu Huang stepped forward to stop them, maintaining the order of the refugee team like two great gods.

Wen Han has been watching the refugees eating, observing the way they gently bite the horse meat when they get the horse meat.Every face, every expression of them, Wen Han engraves on his heart.

Later, Guan Yu tore a piece of roasted horse meat and gave it to Wen Han. Wen Han shook his head and asked him to give this piece of horse meat to a little girl. A woman should be her mother.She was hungry, and seeing that many people hadn't eaten, she didn't dare to ask for more. She stood there, looking at Wen Han.

Guan Yu gave the horse meat to the little girl, and the little girl was very happy, biting slowly, afraid of eating too fast.The little girl ate half of it, then suddenly came to Wen Han, and handed over the horse meat tremblingly.

"Big brother, if you give me yours, you won't have anything to eat. It's hard to be hungry. I ate some, and there are many more, here you are."

Wen Han shed tears unknowingly, opened his mouth and couldn't speak, but shook his head, signaling the little girl to eat the horse meat.

Seeing Wenhan crying, the little girl thought that Wenhan was starving, and with his small black hands, he tore a small piece of horse meat.

"Big brother, I'll feed you."

A little girl with an innocent smile.

Wen Han didn't want the little girl to lose this smile, so he stretched his head and opened his mouth to eat.

At this time, the lame mother of the little girl in the distance seemed to have made up her mind after seeing this scene.

Suddenly, the little girl's mother put her hands on the ground and slammed into a stone next to her with great force.

There's a bang.The refugees around the little girl's mother chanted, "Someone died."

The little girl dropped the horse meat and ran to her mother, weeping desperately.Wen Han followed. The little girl's mother looked at Wen Han, unable to speak, opened her mouth and said a few words.

Wen Han suddenly understood and nodded.The little girl's mother finally smiled at the little girl and died.
