Chapter 441 Father and Daughter Reunion

Luoyang, the suburbs.

Even though he was entrusted with the official position of Taishi Ling, Cai Yong was still not used to living in the city, but liked the outskirts of the country.

In a courtyard, Cai Yong sat in front of a table, holding a carving knife, and carved hard on the bamboo slips in front of him.

Don't look at the sharpness of the carving knife, but in Cai Yong's pen, it turns decay into magic, easy and nimble, and the words carved on the bamboo slips appear vividly on the paper, and there is a feeling of flying.

"In February of the first year of Zhongping, Jiao was in chaos. Jiao was the Taoist master of Taiping, and his disciples wore yellow scarves on their heads, so it was called the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

Cai Yong was immersed in the creation, forgetting himself for a moment, he didn't even hear the sound of pushing the door, and just wrote like flying.

When Cai Yan saw his father writing a book, he didn't dare to disturb him, but quietly observed his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

I haven't seen him for many years, Cai Yong has changed a lot, his figure is more hunched, and there are a few strands of white hair on his sideburns, but he still has a "refreshing and powerful" Feibai body.

After "huh" for a long time, Cai Yong breathed a sigh of relief, gently put down the carving knife, stretched his muscles and bones, and suddenly noticed a shadow on the ground.

Turning around, Cai Yong's complexion changed, and he stretched out his trembling hands: "Yan'er?"

"Father!"

Cai Yong's father and daughter hugged each other tightly, with silent tears streaming down their faces, they separated after a long time.

"Yan'er, did the Hedong Wei family drive you out?" Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan and asked suddenly.

Cai Yan nodded, and said aggrievedly: "Zhongdao died, and Wei Xun drove his daughter back."

Cai Yong snorted: "Hmph! It doesn't matter if you don't go, the famous family of the Wei family in Hedong, we can't afford to climb high."

"Father, my daughter almost won't see you this time." Cai Yan said softly.

Cai Yong frowned, and said angrily: "What? The Hedong Wei family is so overbearing, and they still want to kill you?"

Although Cai Yong did not come from a famous family, his ancestors were all masters of Confucian classics and had a high reputation. That's why the Hedong Wei family will marry Cai Yan. What is their Wei family going to do?

Cai Yan shook his head: "That's not true, it's just that I met Xianbei people on the way back to Luoyang."

Cai Yan told Cai Yong how he encountered the Xianbei people and how he was rescued by the Han army led by Liu Ye.

"Thanks to General Cheqi." Cai Yong sighed: "Although General Cheqi is young, he is a young hero like Huo Huqi."

"That's right." Cai Yong suddenly remembered, and asked Cai Yan, "Is Jiao Weiqin okay?"

"Well, do you want my daughter to play a song for my father?" Cai Yan took out a beautifully shaped lyre with a burnt tail.

The scorched tail is not in harmony with the body as a whole, but there is a story to tell.

Cai Yong was also a minister who was outspoken and admonished, but his fate was not very good, because the emperor he admonished was none other than Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. One can imagine the licentiousness of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Under the instigation of Shi Changshi, it is conceivable that Cai Yong was demoted to Wu County, which is today's Zhejiang area.

After being relegated to Wujun, Cai Yong had nothing to do, teaching and educating people. Later, Gu Yong, the famous minister of Soochow, was Cai Yong's disciple during his time in Wujun. The prime minister, a famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice, so he can naturally see Cai Yong's level.

While Cai Yong was in Wu County, one day he heard a fire cooking at a neighbor's house, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he rushed into the neighbor's house, and reached into the fire without saying a word.

The neighbors were dumbfounded, what are you doing?

Cai Yong didn't care about the hot hands, so he reached out and pulled out a piece of burning wood. It turned out that this piece of wood was a good material for making pianos. Cai Yong, who is proficient in music, heard the crackling sound when the fire was burning just now, so he rescued the wood desperately.

Later, Cai Yong processed the burnt wood and made it into a lyre. Because the tail was burnt, it was named Jiaoweiqin, and it is also one of the four famous Chinese pianos.

After Cai Yan took out the Jiaoweiqin, he knelt down on the ground, put the Jiaoweiqin on his lap, and gently plucked the strings.

A smooth rhythm played out, representing the endless joy of reunion after a long absence.

Cai Yong closed his eyes slightly, and nodded lightly: "Well, it's a good song "Farewell."

But gradually, for some reason, a figure appeared in Cai Yan's heart.

Liu Ye commanded the army of iron cavalry to attack and kill the Xianbei iron cavalry, and his heroic face emerged in his heart. Gradually, the movements of Cai Yan's hands also changed, and the ten fingers gently plucked the strings, and the tune changed.

Cai Yong felt something was wrong when he heard it.

"Feng Qiuhuang?"

Cai Yong did not interrupt Cai Yan, but waited patiently until the end of the song, and then smiled.

"Yan'er, do you have someone you like again?"

During the Han Dynasty, there were not as many restrictions on women as later generations. In fact, before the invention of Neo Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, women were relatively free. For example, the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was once married, and later entered the palace and gave birth to Liu Che. Remarriage is a relatively common thing.

When Cai Yan heard this, her face turned red, but she was shy and refused to speak well.

"Father."

"Hahaha!" Cai Yong laughed, stroking his long beard lightly, but he already had some guesses in his heart.

"It doesn't matter, the Hedong Wei family is nothing." Cai Yong said seriously: "It just so happens that my father is getting older and his energy is declining. When you come back, you can also help my father write Han history and be the second Ban Zhao."

"Although my daughter has little talent and learning, she is willing to serve her father."

Ban Biao was a historian of the Han Dynasty. He had three children, two boys and one girl. The eldest son, Ban Gu, was the author of the famous historical work "Hanshu". The second son, Ban Chao, was even more famous. He managed the Western Regions for the Han Dynasty and left The reputation of "throwing a pen into the army".

It is worth mentioning that Ban Gu worked hard, but died before finishing the "Hanshu", so Emperor Hanhe sent an edict to invite Ban Zhao to enter the palace to read the royal collection and continue to write "Hanshu", so Ban Zhao became a young man. Some ancient female historians.

But when Liu Ye led his troops to suppress Hedong County, a bad news came from Yuan Shu's army.

In the name of Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun led an army of 10,000 troops to station in Peiguo, Yuzhou, waiting for an opportunity. After hearing that Cao Cao had captured Xuzhou, Yuan Shu immediately ordered Zhang Xun to make a massive attack, first to capture Pengcheng, and then to take Xiapi.

Zhang Xun launched a massive attack from Xiao County and captured Pengcheng within three days. After the capture of Pengcheng, Zhang Xunzhi was full of pride, and divided his troops to defend Pengcheng, while he personally led the troops to attack Xiapi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Xun left Pengcheng, Zang Ba, the governor of Mount Tai, immediately went south under the order of Cao Cao to capture Pengcheng. Cao Cao's army was short of food, so he promised Zang Ba that he could search for Pengcheng after he captured it. Zang Ba was overjoyed, and naturally he couldn't wait to lead his troops south and surrounded Pengcheng on all sides.
