    "Hahaha, this Yuan Benchu ??is really heartless, and he is not ashamed of stealing a dragon for a phoenix."

    Suddenly, Cao Cao laughed to himself.  The rest of the people at the banquet looked puzzled and didn't know why.

    Seeing this, Cao Cao stopped laughing and said: "A few days ago, Yuan Benchu ??told Mr. Cao that he had found the person who invented the horse crane. At that time, Bufan still didn't pretend to be crazy. Mr. Cao thought that Yuan Benchu ??must not be the one who invented the horse crane.  I wish Bufan could get rich and find someone who is familiar with Ma Diao to replace him. However, God has his own destiny. Bufan, you are willing to go to Luoyang, the capital, with Mr. Cao. General He is a butcher.  He is said to be the most powerful poor family in the world. He will definitely not look down on you, who is also from a poor family, like the brothers of the Yuan family in Runan."

    Cao Cao stared at Wen Han with a smile, his eyes full of expectation.  At this time, Wenhan was very happy. After the ambush incident in which the wealthy families of Jie County joined forces, Wenhan had been thinking about finding a powerful person to rely on first, otherwise he would not be able to wait until the Yellow Turban.  During the chaos, Wen Han was conspired to death by those wealthy families.  Therefore, he pretended to be crazy and stupid to avoid the attention of the wealthy family.

    As Cao Cao said, He Jin was originally a butcher with a humble background. Due to God's favor, his sister married into the palace and was favored by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, becoming the queen of the country.  He Jincai was able to climb through the ranks and reach the position of general by relying on nepotism.  Although Wen Han relies on He Jin, there is no guarantee that he will be reused, but at least He Jin will never murder Wen Han because of his family background, because both he and Wen Han come from poor families!

    "How dare Wen Bufan refuse to accept Meng De's invitation. It's just that I still have things to do in Jie County and need to make some arrangements. I thought about going to Luoyang on my own in a few days. There are two other things that I am brave enough to do. I need Mr. Cao's permission before I dare to leave.  "

    "Oh, do you want Mr. Cao to keep this matter secret, and then secretly recommend Bufan to General He?"

    "I admire Meng De's bright heart. This Yuan family from Runan hates me to the core. It is easy to block an open sword, but it is difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. I am too weak to fight against him."

    "Okay, Mr. Cao understands the profound meaning of Feifan. These two things are not difficult, Mr. Cao promised you. In Luoyang in the future, having Feifan accompany you will definitely add a lot of fun. Hahaha."

    Cao Cao seemed very happy and drank three cups in a row.  Later, because Wenhan had decided about Luoyang, the banquet reached its climax, and everyone was so drunk that they talked nonsense and passed out on the ground before they gave up.

    This was difficult for Lin who was cleaning up the banquet. Lin ordered Cao Cao to be sent back to the mansion first, and then had Wen Han, Zhou Long, Xu Huang, and Guan Yu be carried back to their respective rooms.  After being busy for most of an hour, the village courtyard was quiet.

    Tomorrow morning, Wenhan got up and finished training. Wenhan called for Lin, who informed Wenhan about the results and income of the horse crane competition.

    Excluding the prize money from the horse crane competition, the income from the admission fee alone has reached a huge amount of 20,000 taels.  In addition, Lin bought several restaurants in advance. During the horse-drawn competition, the restaurant's business was booming, with net income reaching 8,000 taels. Adding the two together, it was about 30,000 taels.

    And the final winner of the horse crane competition, according to Lin, was a scholar dressed as a knight.  The name seems to be Xu Fu.

    When Wenhan heard the word Xu Fu, his calm expression suddenly changed. He quickly stood up and asked Lin where this person was.  Seeing Wenhan's panic, Mrs. Lin told him that Xu Fu had left safely for several days and that he could not be found now.

    Wenhan was greatly disappointed after hearing this.  Xu Fu, this is the real name of the super counselor "Xu Shu". Later, he was renamed Fu due to murder. He was hunted down by the government one after another, and finally captured. He was rescued by many parties and escaped, and then changed his name to Xu Shu.

    Xu Shu was a man of great talent. Together with Shi Tao, Meng Gongwei and Zhuge Liang, they were collectively known as the "Four Friends of Zhuge".  At first he was Liu Bei's military advisor.  He is resourceful, good at making decisions, and predicts events like a god, winning Liu Bei's trust.

    During the Battle of Fancheng, Xu Shu saw through Cao Ren's "Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation" and defeated Cao Cao's officers and soldiers.  Cao Cao's general Cao Ren refused to admit defeat and raised his troops late at night to rob the Xinye stronghold.  Xu Shu had already expected this and took advantage of it when Cao Ren left Fancheng.  As a result, Fancheng fell.

    Cao Ren was defeated and retreated to Xuchang, feeling ashamed of Cao Cao.  Cao Cao said: "Liu Bei must have someone capable to plan for him!"

    Cao Cao found out that it was Xu Shu, so he wanted to trick him into staying in Xuchang.

    They imitated Xu Shu¡¯s mother¡¯s handwriting and wrote to Xu Shu.  When Xu Shu read the letter and learned that his mother was being held in Xuchang, he had no choice but to bid farewell to Liu Bei with tears.  But after arriving at Cao Ying, he never said a word or plan again.  This shows his loyalty.

    such a pity.  Since he let this super awesome person slip away in front of his eyes.  However, Xu Fu was still traveling around to study at this time and had not yet completed his studies. If he were to be brought here too early, it would be to destroy his future.  Thinking of this, Wenhan also relaxed his knot.

    In the evening, Zhou Long returned from the county government.  After everyone had dinner, they happened to be discussing things in the hall.

    &nbspWen Han went to Luoyang this time and planned to take only Guan Yu and Xu Huang with him.  Pei Yuanshao stayed in Jie County to train soldiers and horses, and at the same time he could take care of Zhou Long and his wife to prevent the wealthy family in Jie County from retaliating.

    Wen Han told Zhou Long and his wife that Zhou Cang and Li Qiang dispersed Shuanglongshan troops to various counties to open gambling houses, and told them that if Zhou Cang and Li Qiang's men came looking for them and needed manpower or financial support, they would provide them with financial support.  .  Zhou Long and his wife were accustomed to obeying Wen Han's advice and agreed immediately.

    Afterwards, Wenhan asked Zhou Long and his wife to secretly order the blacksmith to make stirrups and saddles, and to purchase good horses. Wenhan planned to expand the number of Black Wind Riders to 600.  Since He Shuang became the county magistrate, Wen Han went over to talk to him for several hours, and the two seemed to have made some agreements.  He Shuang strongly supported Wenhan and incorporated Wenhan's private soldiers into the Jiexian military camp. Ying Wenhan pretended to be stupid and promoted Pei Yuanshao to the position of General Ya, and jointly managed the soldiers and horses of the Jiexian military camp with Yang Dian.

    After Yang Hong left, Yang Dian was not implicated. He Shuang trusted him quite a bit and still let him sit in the long history position.

    After Wenhan arranged things, he bought a carriage and set off for Luoyang with Guan Yu and Xu Huang the next day.

    Luoyang is named after it is located on the north bank of the ancient Luoshui River. Its peonies are in full bloom and can be seen everywhere.  Peony flowers are huge, come in many varieties, and have extraordinary colors. During the flower blooming season, Luoyang City is filled with people who come to see the beauty of the peonies.  There is also a saying that Luoyang peonies are the best in the world.  It is called Peony City.

    Wenhan, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang came down and saw different scenery.  Outside Luoyang City, you can see naked refugees everywhere. They were so hungry that only a skeleton was left in their bodies. Seeing Wenhan's luxurious carriage and two horses pulling it, they would come over to ask for food, so Wenhan divided his rations.  , and later there was only a little left, so he had no choice but to ask Xu Huang to give some broken silver.

    After that, it became a vicious cycle. The refugees told each other that there was a good man who distributed food and money. The refugees came in droves and followed Wenhan's carriage, forming a long queue.

    Guan Yu and Xu Huang saw that the refugees were sallow and thin, and some of them had not had food for almost half a month. Some elderly people and children were still chasing after them because they were walking slowly and fell down repeatedly. Their wounds were bleeding.

    Unknowingly, these two dignified nine-foot men were affected by this picture, and their eyes were moist.  Although there are some refugees around Jie County, they are not many. Their bodies are not bad and they eat once every two or three days.  At least they are not as miserable as the group of refugees in front of them.

    "Luoyang is at the foot of the emperor, but there are so many refugees without clothing or food. Good! Good! The officials of this court have done a great job!" Wen Han laughed angrily and stopped the carriage.  He asked Xu Huang to take out all the grain and silver, and then asked Guan Yu to bring the old people and children first, and distribute the grain and silver first.

    Some young refugees are unwilling to be late in line, so they secretly steal food and money from the elderly and children.  When the sharp-eyed Xu Huang saw them, he immediately ran over, grabbed several young people, and beat them severely.

    Wenhan sighed again and again. The world is so big and there are so many refugees. He helped some, but not all.  Relief for one day will not last for a lifetime.  Later, when the food and silver parties were finished, Wen Han got on the carriage with a sad face. Xu Huang and Guan Yu took up their whips and left quickly.

    It was still nearly two days away from Luoyang City. Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang originally wanted to leave more food for the refugees, but they had not eaten much in the past few days, and their stomachs were already flat with hunger.

    Wenhan's face was pale, his lips were dry, and his whole body was weak.  Sitting behind the carriage, silent.

    Another day passed and we rested for a while on the way. Wenhan was sleeping and was woken up by Guan Yu.  Guan Yu winked at Wenhan and motioned to go out.

    Wenhan walked out of the carriage and saw a group of refugees following him. Their eyes were dull and they were standing not far away, not daring to get too close. They knew that Wenhan and the three of them had no food or silver.  However, I was so hungry that I couldn't help it, so I just followed it with consciousness.

    Wenhan laughed, and then asked Guan Yu to kill the two horses on the carriage. The refugees were immediately happy, found firewood from everywhere, and roasted the two horses to eat.  Horse meat is hard to eat, but at this time it is the best food in the world, as long as it can fill the stomach.

    Many refugees came in droves and kept pushing forward. Guan Yu and Xu Huang stepped forward to stop them, keeping order in the ranks of refugees like two great gods.

    Wenhan kept watching the refugees eating, observing the way they bit the horse meat gently when they got it.  Every one of their faces and every expression is imprinted on Wen Han's heart.

    Later, Guan Yu tore a piece of roasted horse meat and gave it to Wen Han. Wen Han shook his head and asked him to give the piece of horse meat to a little girl. The little girl had just divided the horse meat and gave it to the lame man with both legs.  A woman should be her mother.  She was hungry and saw that many people didn't have anything to eat, so she didn't dare to ask for more. She stood there and looked at Wen Han.

    Guan Yu gave the horse meat to the little girl. The little girl was very happy.Xinxin, biting slowly, afraid of eating too fast.  The little girl ate less than half, then suddenly came to Wenhan and handed over the horse meat with a trembling hand.

    "Brother, if you give me yours, you won't have to eat. It's very uncomfortable to be hungry. I ate some, and there are many, many more for you."

    Wenhan shed tears unknowingly. He opened his mouth and could not speak. He just shook his head and motioned to the little girl to eat the horse meat.

    When the little girl saw Wenhan crying, she thought Wenhan was hungry, so she tore a small piece of horse meat with her black hands.

    "Big brother, let me feed you."

    The little girl has an innocent smile.

    Wenhan didn¡¯t want the little girl to lose her smile, so she stretched her head and opened her mouth to eat.

    At this time, the little girl¡¯s lame mother in the distance seemed to have made some determination when she saw this scene.

    Suddenly, the little girl¡¯s mother put her hands on the ground and hit a stone next to her with great force.

    There was a loud noise.  The homeless people surrounding the little girl¡¯s mother shouted, ¡°Someone¡¯s dead.¡±

    The little girl dropped the horsemeat and ran to her mother, crying hysterically.  Wenhan followed, and the little girl's mother looked at Wenhan, unable to speak, and opened her mouth and said a few words.

    Wenhan understood immediately and nodded.  The little girl's mother finally smiled at the little girl and then died.
