Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"What's wrong with this old man?" Cai Yong asked.

The young man glanced at Cai Yong, with a slightly surprised look in his eyes. Because he could see that Cai Yong was a noble person with status, he was a little surprised that a person like this would appear here. However, this young man did not show a look of awe towards Cai Yong like other people, his expression was very indifferent.

"He's fine!, he's just fainting from hunger!" said the young man with a sigh.

Cai Yong nodded, and then asked the students around him to go and get food.

After a while, the student brought the food, Cai Yong took it, and immediately squatted down to feed the old man. However, at this time, the question came, where would Cai Yong serve people, so he was stunned on the spot.

The young man saw Cai Yong's embarrassment, so he said, "I'd better come!" Cai Yong

handed over the food and water to the young man with some embarrassment.

The young man took the food and swallowed involuntarily. The young man carefully fed the old man the food, and after a while, the old man woke up and turned around.

Seeing this, the surrounding people all showed heartfelt joy.

"Grandpa! grandpa!" the little girl threw herself into the old man's arms, smiling cheerfully.

At this time, the young man stood up and handed the rest of the food back to Cai Yong. Cai Yong's eyes couldn't help but light up, this young man was obviously extremely hungry, but he didn't want to take advantage of others at all, such a character is really rare!

Cai Yong took the food, and then handed it to the old man, the old man was moved in his heart, and immediately took his granddaughter to kowtow to Cai Yong three times.

Cai Yong helped the old man up. He saw that the old man was lonely with a child, so he said to the old man: "If the old man doesn't dislike it, how will he follow me in the future?"

The old man couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately took his granddaughter and knelt down towards Cai Yong. The old man was overjoyed not because of himself, but because the poor granddaughter of his parents, whose parents died early, finally did not have to suffer with him.

Cai Yong asked the students to take the old man and his granddaughter down, and then hugged his fists at the young man and said, "I am Cai Yong, I don't know what this little brother is called?"

Hearing Cai Yong's self-report, the young man immediately showed a hint of surprise, and then nodded suddenly.

The young man saluted Cai Yong in return and said, "My name is Sima Yi, but I am just a nobody!" He turned out to be Sima Yi! If Chen Chu was here, he would definitely exclaim: Damn! Why

is Sima Yi so old? As soon as Sima Yi finished introducing himself, he stepped aside, pointed to the dozen or so people behind him, and continued, "This is my father, and the others are my brothers. The

father in Sima Yi's mouth immediately stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "I am Sima Fang, and I have seen Lord Cai." Immediately, Sima Yi's other brothers bowed together: "Lord Cai." "It looks very cultured.

Cai Yong smiled modestly: "No need to be polite.

Cai Yong saw that the other party had a good conversation and looked dignified, and couldn't help asking: "Has Sima Gong ever been an official in the state and county?"

It makes sense for Cai Yong to ask this, Sima Fang's conversation and demeanor are not like ordinary people, but like a person in the officialdom, but if the other party has been an official in the court, Cai Yong will not be unrecognizable, so Cai Yong guesses that the other party has been an official in the state and county.

Sima Fang replied: "I have been in Hanoi for a long time. "

Then why is Master Sima here?" Cai Yong asked puzzled.

Sima Fang sighed and replied, "Then Wang Kuang wants to surrender Yuan Shao, and I don't want to be like him, so I ran away!"

"But how can you be so embarrassed?" The reason why Cai Yong asked this was because Sima and his family looked very embarrassed, like a fleeing citizen.

Sima Fang smiled bitterly: "We met a group of bandits on the road, and all the family assets were lost

!" At this time, Sima Yi on the side smiled very freely: "Fortunately, no one was injured

!" Cai Yong also smiled and said: "Sima Gongzi said it well!" and then said to Sima Fang: "If Lord Sima doesn't dislike it, would you like to walk with me?"

Sima Fang suddenly showed joy and said: "So I don't dare to invite you."

Subsequently, Sima's family went on the road with Cai Yong's family, and Cai Yong invited Sima Fang and Sima Fang's two eldest sons to his car to talk about world affairs.

Before they knew it, the two families arrived at Hangu Pass three days later. At this time, the Hangu Pass was wide open, and the refugees were pouring into the Hangu Pass one after another, and a pair of soldiers with bright armor and serious expressions were lined up on both sides of the gate.

Sima Yi couldn't help but praise: "The military appearance is rigorous, implicit but not revealed! The Northern Army really deserves to be the elite soldiers in the world!" Cai Yong on the side didn't understand these and didn't express his opinion, while Sima Yi's eldest brother Sima Lang and father Sima Fang nodded.

The group slowly drove towards the gate, and since they were obviously together, and there were chariots and horses, the sergeant guarding the gate stopped them to be examined.

"Who are you?" asked a petty officer, who came to the front of the carriage and horses. Although the attitude is serious, it does not seem to be arrogant.

Cai Yong's student replied, "On the carriage is the current university scholar Cai Yong Cai!" After a pause, he said, "And Master Sima, the chief of Hanoi

!" The little officer couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said without humility or arrogance: "Please wait a moment!" and then turned around and walked quickly into the pass.

The students couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and at this time, Cai Yong and Sima Fang had already got off the carriage and walked over.

"What's going on?" Cai Yong asked.

The student immediately recounted the conversation he had just had with the little officer.

The other party seems to be going to ask his boss. I just don't know why he asked for instructions?" said Sima Yi with a slight frown.

After listening to Sima Yi's analysis, Sima Fang couldn't help but feel slightly worried, and Cai Yong was also puzzled.

At this time, Sima Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, if you come, you will be safe, maybe the Northern Army is preparing to meet us!"

Sima Fang and Cai Yong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this moment, a general dressed in steel chain armor, with a scarlet cloak on his shoulders, a red beast helmet on his head, and a long knife in his hand, led a group of fierce cavalry over.

The people stepped aside, their eyes full of awe.

The general led the cavalry straight to Cai Yong and them, and then turned over and dismounted and hugged his fists at everyone and said: "I am the commander of the Fourth Army under the command of the general, I don't know which one is Lord Cai Yong?" It turned out that this imposing general turned out to be an important general under Chen Chu. But why did he appear here?

Cai Yong and the others couldn't help but be taken aback, and then hurriedly replied: "It turned out to be General Zhang!" Then Cai Yong stepped forward and replied: "I am Cai Yong, I don't know why the general is looking for me?" Cai Yong's expression looked a little worried.

Zhang Jaw looked around, and then said, "Follow me to the pavilion first!"

Cai Yong and the others glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts. However, even if they were apprehensive, they had no choice but to obey Zhang Jaw's orders. If Zhang Jaw really had malicious intentions, the fierce cavalry he brought with him could tear them to shreds in an instant.

Cai Yong agreed, and then returned to the carriage, and the others followed suit.

After Cai Yong and the others returned to the carriage, Zhang Jaw stepped on the war horse, and with a wave of his hand, those cavalry immediately came over and protected the carriage from front to back, left and right. However, this scene fell into Cai Yong's eyes, but it made him tremble. It's no wonder that the momentum of these cavalry under Zhang Jaw is very scary, and the momentum of a hundred battles and battlefield experience is not a joke.

Immediately, everyone in the carriage heard an order, and then the whole team started.

Outsiders couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene: "Obedient! Is there some big man coming? This formation!" In

the carriage, Cai Yong, Sima Fang, and Sima Lang were all a little uneasy, but Sima Yi was calm. Sima Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry! It seems that I didn't expect it badly, the Northern Army has really come to greet my uncle!" Cai

Yong couldn't help asking: "Why did the virtuous nephew say that?"

Sima Yi said: "It's hard to say now, and my uncle will know it then." Contrary

to Cai Yong's worried mood, Cai Wenji, who was in the other carriage, looked a little excited. Mother Cai looked at her daughter, who looked a little anxious, and showed a loving smile.

In the astonished eyes of the people, the group came to the post house. Then Zhang Jaw personally invited Cai Yong off the carriage.

As soon as Cai Yong and the others got out of the carriage, they saw that there were two columns of officials standing respectfully on both sides of the post house. They seem to have been prepared for a long time, which is not surprising, Jia Xu Zhang Jaw had received the information that Cai Yong had left Luoyang through the secret line two days ago, Jia Xu in view of Cai Yong's high prestige among the people and poor students, so he took it upon himself to let Zhang Jaw rush to Hangu Pass to meet Cai Yong, Zhang Jaw arrived at Hangu Pass yesterday.

As soon as they saw Cai Yong come out, they saluted together: "Lord Cai!" Cai Yong

suddenly felt flattered. At this moment, he was finally sure that the other party really had no malicious intent.

Cai Yong and others were invited into the post house, and then participated in the reception banquet hosted by Zhang Jaw. Although the reception banquet was simple, it was very grand, which fully reflected the respect for Cai Yong. This made Cai Yong grateful, and he found the feeling of going home after being excluded in Luoyang.

Cai Wenji's mother and daughter did not participate in the reception banquet because they were Cai Yong's family members. Mother and daughter stayed in the room that had been carefully prepared for them and talked.

After the banquet, Zhang Jaw asked Cai Yong to rest here for two days, and then go on the road to Chang'an, Cai Yong had no objection to this.

After Zhang Jaw left, Cai Yong and the others went back to their rooms. However, the two brothers, Sima Yi and Sima Lang, went to their father's room.

"It seems that the general attaches great importance to Cai Yong! He even asked his general to greet him in person!" Sima Fang said with emotion and a little loss.

Sima Yi nodded and said: "Uncle Cai Yong has high prestige among the poor students and the people, and the general's move should be to collect the people's popularity

!" At this time, Sima Lang said: "Father doesn't have to worry about this matter! If the general knew his father's talent, he would definitely treat his father the same

!" Sima Fang shook his head and sighed: "I have the ambition to govern the country, but I have no chance to show it!"

Father, the opportunity is not something we can wait for, we have to fight for it ourselves!" said Sima Yi with blazing eyes.

Sima Fang knew that this second son was very resourceful, and when he heard him say this at this moment, he couldn't help but ask urgently: "What can you do?"
