After Long Fei and Cao Jie got married, Cao Cao suddenly seemed like a different person. He specially found a small courtyard for the two of them to live in, with food, clothing, and servants. He also sent people to deliver things every day.
Gold, silver, treasures, beauties and antiques were shipped here again and again. In addition, civil and military officials headed by Xiahou Dun and Cheng Yu came to visit one after another. Long Fei's home in Dongjun was filled with guests and banquets from morning to night.
.
Long Fei gave many orders to thank guests behind closed doors, but the servants at home did not listen to him at all. As long as Cao Cao's men came to visit, they were all let in. If it was Guo Jia, Li Ru and others, they all thanked guests behind closed doors and sent them away.
It's over. After living in Dongjun for more than a month, Long Fei felt something was wrong. That night, he sent away all the guests and returned to his bedroom.
Cao Jie was not asleep yet and was sitting by the couch embroidering. Long Fei came in and lay down on the couch with his clothes on without even saying hello. Cao Jie got up and poured a cup of tea for Long Fei: "You seem unhappy today?"
Long Fei sat up and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just drank too much!"
Cao Jie also smiled: "Don't hide it from me, I know you want to leave here."
Long Fei sighed: "Hey! If I leave, will you follow me?"
Cao Nod nodded: "You and I have become husband and wife, and I will go wherever you go!"
Long Fei hugged Cao Jie. The two were affectionate for a long time. Long Fei let Cao Jie go: "You go to bed first! I'll go out to do something!"
Chunmanlou is the largest inn in Dongjun. Long Fei and his party have booked it since the day they entered the city. Although Long Fei was arranged by Cao Cao to stay, several of his men and three hundred personal guards still stayed there.
Here, it is late at night, the whole street is dark, and a light is still on in a guest room in the backyard of Chunman Building. Guo Jia, Li Ru, Jiang Gan, Dian Wei, Chen Dao, and Xu Chu are not sleeping.
Being trapped here, these people are also very anxious.
"Tomorrow, I'll call in and see who dares to stop Dianye!" Dianwei stood up with a shout as he took pictures of several cases.
Li Ru quickly shook his head: "That's not possible. There are few of us. It will be even more difficult to escape from a fight. If not, the lord will be implicated, and you and I will not be able to atone for our crimes even if we die!"
"Then what should I do? I listen to you!"
Guo Jia frowned and turned to ask Chen Dao: "What's going on at the city gates and Cao Cao's troops?"
"The gates of the city have been strengthened and the inspections are very strict! It is reported that Cao Cao personally ordered five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to be stationed outside the city. It is obvious that they are here for us!"
"This old guy! He's actually playing tricks on us! He wants to rush into the governor's mansion right now!" Xu Chu was so angry that his hair stood on end.
Guo Jia asked again: "Where are the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry stationed?"
"It's five miles west of the city! It's led by General Cao Chun himself!"
"Bang bang bang..." A rapid knock on the door interrupted the conversation of several people. Before anyone could ask, Long Fei pushed the door open and walked in. Everyone stood up in a hurry and saluted. Long Fei looked for him with a dejected look on his face.
The place was occupied. Chen Dao hurriedly went to pour tea. Long Fei glanced at everyone: "You haven't slept yet?"
"Sleep like a bird! They have locked us up! Can we still sleep?" Dian Wei said angrily.
Long Fei smiled: "Is there any way to get out of Fengxiao?"
Guo Jia shook his head: "If we just leave, we can just fight him out. Now that we have a wife, it may be difficult!"
"Then think about it again! We can't stay here forever. If this continues, we will all become useless!"
Several people studied all night, and it was almost dawn, so Long Fei left. Cao Cao sent people to monitor Long Fei and Chun Manlou, but the next day they discovered that several people who were monitoring Chunmanlou
All the soldiers were missing. Cao Cao was not stupid, and he immediately realized that something was going to happen. He hurriedly called everyone to discuss, and after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out how Long Fei would leave Dongjun. Cao Cao ordered that the whole city be under martial law, even if
Even if Long Fei doesn't run away, he has to guard against him.
In the next three days, Dongjun seemed to be a little too quiet. Long Fei continued to receive guests at his house. There was no movement at all in Chunman Building, and the people inside, whether they were soldiers or Guo Jia, made no noise.
Action. Cao Cao fell into deep thought. He understood Long Fei. If Long Fei didn't come, it would be a disaster. Once he came, it would be a storm, which ordinary people would be unable to withstand.
"Report...! There is a conflict between Laokeng Village in the north of the city and Wafangdian over the issue of irrigation water. The situation continues to expand, and more than a dozen villages are involved!"
Cao Cao was stunned. This East County is close to the Yellow River. There has been no problem in watering crops in the past years. What happened this year? Originally, such a trivial matter would not be reported to Cao Cao. However, because Cao Cao was afraid of Long Fei's methods, he ordered the surrounding areas of East County
, tell yourself all the unusual things. Cao Cao ordered an inspection. It turned out that there was a severe drought in the spring this year, and the Yellow River was also somewhat dry, and the water volume was reduced. After the water for irrigation passed through Laokeng Village upstream, there was not much left, and several villages downstream could only
Looking at the sky and sighing. I don’t know who said that it was the people of Laokeng Village who blocked their water source. This aroused the anger of the people, and more than a dozen villages downstream launched an army to investigate.
The officials sent by Cao Cao were very thirsty, but the people just refused to agree. The land in Laokeng Village is fertile and close to the Yellow River, which is convenient for irrigation. The land owned by it is basically owned by the rich people of Dongjun or officials. The land in Laokeng Village
If the people don't give in, the local magistrate can't do anything about it.
Cao Cao thought it was just a trivial matter. Unexpectedly, three days later, the water source problem aroused the people's resentment towards the government, believing that the government was protecting Laokeng Village. Several pavilion chiefs and three elders of more than a dozen villages were beaten.
Death. The villagers in Laokeng were unable to defeat the four with their fists. The villagers rushed into the irrigation canal and dug the water channel forcibly. There was a melee between the two sides, and the county magistrate who came to mediate was also injured. The county magistrate sent people to suppress it, and the people were furious.
Both sides suffered casualties in the bloodbath.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Dongjun City, but a message caused a big mess. Some people rumored that the people of more than a dozen villages downstream had become red-blooded, and under the leadership of a man named Wang Erniu
, to attack Dongjun City and kill all the dignitaries! As soon as this statement came out, it was undoubtedly a rebellion. Those officials who owned land in Laokeng Village used various connections to dispatch people to suppress the people in the name of riot. Some people raised their arms.
Phew, a team of tens of thousands of people immediately gathered outside Dongjun City. Under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, they marched towards Dongjun in a mighty manner.
"You bastard!" Cao Cao was furious: "It's such a small thing that caused such a big mess. Who is the mastermind?"
Cao Hong had the most land in Laokeng, and this matter had a deep connection with him. When Cao Cao asked about it, Cao Hong said: "Such unruly people are not enough to appease the people without killing them!"
"Hmph!" Cao Cao snorted coldly: "To appease the people? I knew this matter had something to do with you and asked you to get down to business, but you didn't listen and tried every means to buy land. What use do you need for these burdens? What if Yuan Shao calls?
Can you carry it on your back?"
Xia Houyuan quickly smoothed things over: "Lord, the matter has become serious now. Tens of thousands of people are entrenched around Dongjun, and our current troops are difficult to deal with. Should we deploy troops to suppress it?"
Cao Cao's head began to hurt again. Xi Zhicai said: "Tens of thousands of angry people are watching eagerly. I think we should not mobilize troops to avoid causing bigger problems. We should send people out of the city for peace talks, pardon their crimes, and let them go home again."
It’s better to farm!”
"How can this be done? Who will take care of my losses? Because of this matter, Laokeng Village will have no harvest this autumn. No, this matter must be severely punished!" Cao Hong refused to give in. Xia Houyuan gave him a fierce look: "
Civilian explosions have occurred. We must treat them with caution. You are still thinking about your own harvest! When you break into Dongjun, who will you take?"
Cao Cao put his hands on his forehead and spoke feebly: "Come here, capture Cao Hong and put him in prison!"
Cao Cao personally went to the city to explain, and also announced that this year, several villages around Dongjun would not collect taxes, and the government would compensate the victims. He promised to open new canals next year so that every village would have irrigation water. The people still respected Cao Cao.
Respect, since Cao Cao arrived in Dongjun, he has been considerate of the people's sentiments and cared about the people's strength, and the people of Dongjun have been living a stable life. Since Cao Cao said this, the popular explosions that aroused have dispersed. Cao Cao specially sent people to each village to appease him.
Things finally calmed down.
These days, everyone has been very busy. After everything was sorted out again, they discovered that all Long Fei's men in Long Fei Mansion and Chun Man House were missing. They quickly sent people to investigate, only to find out that Long Fei had taken advantage of the chaos to kill himself.
The people were divided into several groups and pretended to be refugees and went out from the four gates respectively. When encountering resistance, they immediately took action. There were reports at several city gates, but everyone thought it was a civilian explosion and paid no attention to it.
Cao Cao slapped his forehead with a palm: "Oops! I fell into Long Fei's plan again! Quick, send someone to chase!"
Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry were the first to move out and headed west. The soldiers and horses left behind in Dongjun also dispersed. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, which just covered the moon, Long Fei waved his hand, and three black figures emerged from the shadows.
In a flash, several soldiers who were patrolling at the gate of the city were about to open their mouths to call someone, but they kept covering their mouths with their big hands. With a dagger cut on their necks, they could no longer scream.
As soon as the heavy city gate was opened to a small crack, everyone ran out one by one. Walking among the last two carriages. The one in front was protected by Dian Wei and Cao Jie was sitting there, and the one behind was Guo Jia and Li Ru.
, protected by Chen Dao. Watching the carriage leave the city smoothly, the people responsible for attacking the city tower slid down the city wall, followed the team, and disappeared into the dark night.
"Where are we going?" Cao Jie nestled in Long Fei's arms.
Long Fei said: "I don't know, at least leave your father's sphere of influence first!"
The carriage bumped all the way, not heading west, but heading southeast. Their first target was Jiuli Mountain. On this large plain, Long Fei had no way to escape his pursuers, but if he entered the mountain, he would be 100% better.
Even if they can't escape, they can still deal with it. The wheels are rolling, and hundreds of people are escorting the group towards Jiuli Mountain quickly. In order to prevent being overtaken, Long Fei spread out the scouts five miles away.
With the sound of horse hooves, a scout rolled his saddle and dismounted: "Lord, there are people blocking the road three miles ahead! There are many bandits in the trade!"
