Cao Cao was waiting anxiously in the cold wind with his men and horses.
Behind him, Guo Jiazheng was chatting with Xun Yu.
"Wen Ruo, do you know who this Fang Guang is? The old lady actually praised him so much in his letter, calling him a wizard among wizards."
Xun Yu frowned slightly and replied: "No, according to the information in the old lady's official letter, this person used to be Liu Bei's subordinate."
"It's not that I'm suspicious, but the Pingyuan County where Liu Bei is located is within Gongsun Zan's territory."
"This Gongsun Zan has always been at odds with Gong Ming. This person suddenly took refuge. We must investigate."
Hearing this, Guo Jia laughed and said: "Wen Ruo, you are being too cautious. I am telling you about this person's talent, but you are talking to me about whether he is a spy."
"If the old lady hears what you said, I'm afraid Ming Gong will be scolded again."
Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"Fengxiao, do you really not doubt this Fang Guang at all?"
Guo Jia shook his head and nodded again.
Just listen to him say: "We'd better not make random guesses about this matter. No one has seen it. Let's analyze its purpose here. This is not a march and fight. We should wait until the people come."
Then he changed the topic and talked with Xun Yu about other things.
While the two were chatting, they soon felt the ground beneath their feet shaking slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of soldiers and horses were seen galloping from the front.
This is exactly the cavalry commanded by Xia Houyuan!
Seeing this, Cao Cao, who had been standing at the front, was overjoyed and quickly mounted his horse to greet them.
Soon the two groups of people met together.
The first time he saw Cao Song, Cao Cao immediately dismounted and trotted over.
"The child feels relieved when he sees his father is safe and sound."
"I didn't expect that Tao Qian would dare to send people to attack and kill his father. I will definitely lead the troops myself and bloodbath Xuzhou to avenge this!"
After talking about it, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and was filled with resentment.
When Cao Song saw Cao Cao again after three years, his face was filled with sadness.
When I thought that if Fang Guang hadn't appeared, I would really have died, and I suddenly became a little angry.
"My son, Ah Ma, that old Tao Qian is really hateful!"
"On the surface he looks upright, but in fact he is an out-and-out vicious villain!"
"As a father, I still want you to shake hands with him and make peace! If Datong hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid you and I would have been separated forever!"
Speaking of this, he specially called Fang Guang over and said earnestly to Cao Cao: "Ah Man, don't neglect Datong, he is a genius!"
Cao Cao quickly thanked the other party and saluted him: "Thank you very much, sir, for saving my life. From now on, Cao Cao will definitely use you more!"
Then he looked at Cao Song: "Father is tired from traveling and traveling, and has worked hard under the bumps. Take a good rest these days, and then I will personally host a banquet for Mr. Fang."
Cao Song nodded with satisfaction.
He was somewhat aware of his son's temperament.
Who is Fang Guang, what is his identity, and what is his purpose?
Presumably Cao Cao will go and find out.
…
Posthouse.
Guan Hai said angrily: "Boss, I just said that Cao Cao and Liu Da'er are from the same family. Look! We saved his father, but instead of coming to say thank you, let us live in this shabby inn instead?"
Fang Guang, who was sitting opposite him, smiled faintly and said calmly: "You, you, it's great that our five hundred brothers can have an inn. Don't forget where we lived before?"
"Boss!" Guan Hai stood up and said, "This is not the point. The point is that you are despised by Cao Cao!"
"If I had known now, we should have gone to Runan. It would be great to be as carefree and happy as Liu Pi!"
Fang Guang pressed his hand down, motioning Guan Hai to sit down, and then pointed at the troops outside the post station.
"These are all Cao Cao's personal guards. Just the five hundred brothers at the post station, plus you and Dian Wei, can they stop them?"
Hearing this, Guan Hai was a little shocked and said: "Cao Cao's personal guards are so powerful? Can't you even do it with the boss?"
"Then you definitely can't count me." Fang Guang said with a smile, "If I take action, wouldn't it be bullying others?"
Hearing this, Guan Hai choked for words.
"Boss, are you praising Cao Cao, or are you praising yourself? You can't even beat me, you're bragging."
"No, no." Fang Guang shook his head and said, "In terms of brute strength, I am definitely not as good as you, but I use my brain and intelligence, understand? If you give me time, I can't beat you ten times."
He was not exaggerating.
Guan Hai suddenly remembered that he had fallen into the traps set by Fang Guang more than ten times in a row, and his scalp felt numb.
The feeling was simply worse than killing him!
At this time, Fang Guang said again: "Do you think Cao Cao is really putting us under house arrest by placing his personal guards here and waiting day and night?"
"Not house arrest?" Guan Hai was a little stunned, "Think about it carefully, something is indeed wrong. Boss, what is the mystery behind this?"
Fang Guang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, during this time you saved me, ran so far with me, and even fought with Zhang Yan."
"It's not just you, the other brothers are also very tired."
"These two days, if you have something to eat and drink, just take a good rest and don't think too much."
…
In the Prefectural Pastoral Palace.
Cao Cao was sitting quietly in the main hall, seemingly waiting for something.
Soon, Xia Houen came running quickly.
"Lord! Fortunately, I have lived up to my destiny!"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "Have you found out all the news about Fang Guang in Pingyuan County?"
Xia Houen nodded heavily.
"My lord, Liu Bei issued a recruitment list in Pingyuan County half a year ago."
"It was at that time that Fang Guang joined Liu Bei's command."
"From the beginning, Liu Bei valued him very much and often held large banquets in his mansion to invite him as a guest."
"Furthermore, many political officials will ask Fang Guang for his opinion. It can be said that he is very favored."
Hearing this, Cao Cao became curious: "Then why did Fang Guang leave again in the end?"
Xia Houen said quickly: "That's because Fang Guang carried out reforms in Pingyuan County and abolished the official system and reappeared."
"This move directly offended all the aristocratic families in Pingyuan County."
"These aristocratic families, headed by the Chen family, jointly went to Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to kill Fang Guang."
"That's why Fang Guang was sent to death row!"
"But on the eve of the execution, a group of Yellow Turbans, about 500 people, led by a man named Guan Hai, rushed into the prison and rescued Fang Guang."
"It is rumored that the eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Yao, also disappeared that night. Everyone said he was dead."
