Chapter 319

Liu Bian decided to go to Chang'an in secret, first arrange things in Luoyang, and then took Yang Yansi, Guo Jia and others on the road.

Due to the many affairs in Luoyang, Liu Bian took a lot of time to explain the matter. At dusk, Liu Bian and others rushed to Hangu Pass.After entering Hangu Pass, Liu Bian went straight to look for Xue Andu.

"Your Majesty? The last general has seen His Majesty?" In front of the camp gate, Xue An was extremely surprised to see Liu Bian, and then he wanted to bow his hands and salute.

Liu Bian hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Xue Andu up, leaned into his ear and whispered: "I don't want to reveal my identity, this time I'm in your army, and I'm going to Chang'an secretly, don't say anything!"

Xue An nodded in surprise. Liu Bian knew that Xue An was a general and didn't know these things. There might be many spies from aristocratic families in the army, so Liu Bian laughed and cupped his hands and said, "My nephew has seen uncle , this time I want to go to Chang'an to do business, and when I pass by here, I happen to pay my respects to my uncle!"

Xue An immediately came to his senses. He was overwhelmed with flattery by the emperor's yell, and he also put on a happy smile and said, "It's been a long time since my nephew still remembers me. Come on, it's cold outside. Hurry up!" come on in!"

Xue An welcomed Liu Bian into the camp, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude!"

Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "It's urgent, forgive you for your innocence, let's get away with it, I'm going to Chang'an secretly this time, I don't want others to know my identity, you cover it up for me!"

"No!" Xue An nodded and flattened his body. It was getting late at this time, and Xue An asked people to bring food for Liu Bian and others to eat.

After drinking and eating, Liu Bian asked: "Cao Mengde transferred your troops to Chang'an, when will you be able to go to Chang'an?"

Xue An clasped his hands and replied: "The general has been preparing for the past two days, and will be able to leave tomorrow, but the Hangu Pass is extremely important, and the general plans to leave [-] troops to guard it!"

Liu Bian nodded and said: "It's good to leave a thousand. I have sent the Gaosu cavalry to Hangu Pass before coming here, and they will arrive in the next day! After the Gaosu cavalry arrives, you can send the rest of the troops to Chang'an !"

"Yes, the general will go to give orders right away. Besides, your majesty is exhausted from the journey. The general has already prepared a tent for your majesty. As soon as your majesty's ward will be heard, someone will take your majesty down to rest!" Xue Andu nodded and said.

"Well, thank you!" Liu Bianhan said with a smile.

Xue An all retreated, Liu Bian, Yang Yansi and Guo Jia each went to rest.

On the second day, Xue An's [-] troops were ready and set off for Chang'an, Liu Bian was also among them.In order to avoid being recognized by others when he arrived in Chang'an, Liu Bian asked Xue Andu to send people to the ward Wang Meng and others in advance that night to secretly arrange accommodation.

At dusk the next day, Liu Bian's army finally arrived at Chang'an City.Xue An went to arrange for the army to be stationed, because Wang Meng and others sent people to the barracks to look for Liu Bian.He secretly brought Liu Bian to the governor's mansion.

Cao Cao's confidantes are all in the governor's mansion. With Cao Cao's skills, there will never be any spies from the family here.After entering the gate of the governor's mansion, Liu Bian saw Wang Meng, Di Renjie, Li Ru and others standing with their hands folded.

"I have seen Your Majesty!" wrote several ministers bowing their hands to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian glanced at these people and saw that Cao Cao was not there, so he asked suspiciously: "Is he flat? Meng De is not here? Has he already set off?"

"Meng De just sent [-] troops to Xiliang today!" Wang Meng clasped his hands.

"Oh, that's okay. I saw Meng De's expedition and Chang'an's defenses were insufficient. I was a little worried. The aristocratic family is so rampant, so I came to Chang'an secretly to see what tricks they are playing!" Liu Bian nodded and said. .

All the ministers welcomed Liu Bian into the hall, and there was a stove next to it, which was much warmer than outside. Liu Bian sat down and said, "It's good for you to perform your duties. Don't leak the news of my coming to Chang'an. Bring me the information of the suspected family these days, and I want to see it!"

"It's Your Majesty!" Several people bowed their hands and left, but after a while, a person came into the hall with a stack of official documents.

Liu Bianshizhi saw that the person was seven feet tall, slender, imposing, about 20 years old, with a young appearance, but he was indeed a good-looking talent!The visitor put the official document on Liu Bian's desk, then stepped back and stood aside, his meticulous appearance aroused Liu Bian's interest.

Those who can come to deliver official documents to Liu Bian and serve him at the side must know Liu Bian's identity.If it is an ordinary official, I am afraid that he is already nervous or flattered at this moment.But this young man was not surprised by favor or humiliation, Liu Bian appreciated his determination.Looking at the young man, Liu Bian smiled and said, "Aren't you nervous seeing me?"

"It is my honor to be able to serve His Majesty, and I should be meticulous. I should be nervous when I see His Majesty, but I will do wrong things if I get nervous. In order to serve Your Majesty better, I am not nervous anymore!" The young man listened , replied with arched hands.

Liu Bian laughed loudly after hearing this, and said, "That's good, that's good, you're doing things for me wholeheartedly, forgetting the tension in your heart, you're very good, what's your name?"

"My humble minister Cao Ang, named Zixiu!" The young man clasped his hands and replied.

"Cao Ang?" Liu Bian was startled when he heard that. Could it be Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, who died with Dian Wei in the Battle of Wancheng in 197 AD?

In the battle of Wancheng, Zhang Xiuben surrendered to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao had a problem, he liked wives.This time, Cao Cao took a fancy to Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zhang Ji's wife Zou.This angered Zhang Xiu, and following Jia Xu's plan, he stole Dian Wei's halberds with Hu Che'er and attacked Cao Cao.

Dian Wei was killed in order to protect Cao Cao. Cao Ang gave up his horse to Cao Cao and was also killed.Unexpectedly, Cao Ang has grown so big.Cao Ang's biological mother died early and was brought up by Mrs. Ding. Later, when she learned of Cao Ang's death, she was the one who left home in anger with Cao Cao.

According to historical records, Cao Ang was smart, courageous and humble, so he was deeply loved by Cao Cao.If Cao Ang hadn't died, the emperor of the Great Wei would never have had Cao Pi's turn.From Liu Bian's point of view, this Cao Ang is indeed a good-looking talent.

Liu Bian buried his astonishment and said with a smile, "Your father is Cao Mengde?"

"It's my father!" Cao Ang cupped his hands.

"What position do you currently occupy?" Liu Bian asked again.

"Weichen is a small official in the governor's mansion, and he usually assists his father in fighting!" Cao Ang replied.

"Oh?" Liu Bian nodded, this is Cao Cao training Cao Ang!Liu Bian's heart moved, and he asked the system to detect Cao Ang's four-dimensional.

"Cao Ang, military strength is 54, commander is 56, intelligence is 93, and politics is 87! Cao Ang's intelligence has reached the peak, but politics is just new, and there is still room for improvement!"

Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction and said: "I see that you don't have any fame, so it's impossible to involve state affairs like this. In this way, I will give you the honor of "Jinshi" and wait for the imperial examination in the next year. You can directly participate in the national examination. Just stay by my side!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Ang beamed at the moment, and bowed down to thank him.

"Well, let's get back together. By the way, do you have brothers in your family?" Liu Bian asked again.

Among Cao Cao's descendants, the famous ones are Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang, but Liu Bian doesn't quite remember their ages.It is not known whether they are youths or children at this moment, or if they have not yet been born.

Cao Ang replied respectfully: "Under me, there is my second brother Cao Pi who is six years old this year, my third brother Cao Zhang who is five years old this year, and Cao Zhi who was born this year and is only half a year old!"
