In the following days.
Shi Ah helped Cao Ang look for a ranger expert, while Cao Ang posted a notice among the refugees, recruiting a group of strong people to serve as a mountain protection team. The number of people was temporarily set at 200.
After several months of development, Misty Villa had obviously become a gathering place for refugees. Some people had settled down here and started to build their own tents as simple houses.
Although Cao Ang knew that this place wouldn't last long, he still couldn't bear the psychological pressure. He started to pay the refugees and help them build their homes.
Now, when the refugees heard that Cao Ang was going to form a mountain protection team, they naturally signed up enthusiastically. In less than half a day, the number of people had reached more than seven hundred, and all of them were young men between the ages of fifteen and twenty.
Ding Yao originally wanted to stop him, but considering that Cao Ang had been assassinated, it was only natural for him to prepare some reasonable self-defense measures. Thus, not only did she not object, she even strongly supported him.
The recruitment of soldiers went smoothly, and the rest of the selection was carried out in an orderly manner.
*****
Cao Manqing brought the horseshoe gold to Xuchang and Dongjun to buy land.
During this period of war, land prices were relatively cheap. Cao Manqing was buying them like they were cabbages. He spent almost all of his money in just a few days.
After buying the land, Cao Manqing was not in a hurry to return home. Instead, he followed Cao Ang's instructions and went to Chenliu County to find out about a person called Dian Wei.
In the vast sea of people and in the midst of war, looking for a person was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
Cao Manqing went from the border of Chenliu and Dongjun to Chenliu County. After searching for a few days, he could not even find Dian Wei, let alone him.
On this day.
Chen Liu.
Cao Manqing came out of the tavern and was about to leave Chen Liu to continue his search.
However, he had just left Chenliu County and had not left for long when he was intercepted by a burly man.
The man was holding a pair of iron halberds. His face was dark, and his eyes were filled with anger. He glared at Cao Manqing and said,"
"I heard that someone has been looking for me recently? Could that person be you?"
Cao Manqing's eyes lit up as she sized up the burly man in front of her. He looked exactly like what her young master had described.
"Are you Dian Wei? My young master said that Dian Wei is a rare hero in the world. He can chase a tiger across a ravine. Within ten steps, his short halberd never misses. He is invincible!”
"In the entire Great Han Imperial Court, other than Lu Bu, no one is your match!”
This was the first time Dian Wei had heard someone praise him like this. The anger in his heart instantly lessened by half. He chuckled and said,
"That's right! I am Dian Wei, Chen Liuji and I!”
"I once chased after a tiger, and with a swing of my iron halberd, that tiger was crushed to death by me!”
"Hahaha!"
Cao Manqing was overjoyed.
He couldn't hold it in any longer and started crying."
"I finally found you, I finally found you!”
"Sob, sob, sob ~ Young Master said that if I can't find you, he'll break my legs when I go back.”
"This time, my legs are finally saved.”
"Who is your young master?" Why is he looking for me?"
Cao Manqing quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes.""My young master is the son of Cao Cao, the general of the five senses. He…"
When Dian Wei heard the word 'reigning register', he was furious. He placed his halberd on Cao Manqing's neck and said,"
"You bastard, you really are sent by the Imperial Court. Are you here to kill me, Dian Wei?”
Cao Manqing's legs were trembling when he heard Dian Wei's words. He quickly said,"
"Hero, don't misunderstand! Don't misunderstand!"
"My young master also said that although Dian Yingxiong killed someone and escaped, it was a righteous act and he admired him very much.”
"Today, I came to find you to point out a clear path for you. From now on, you don't have to live the life of running around. Moreover, you can eat your fill every meal, and you can even eat meat and drink wine!”
"There's such a good thing in this world?" Dian Wei asked suspiciously.”
Cao Manqing nodded solemnly.""Of course! As long as you rely on my master, I guarantee that you will have enough to eat. If you can win the battle, you will even have meat to eat and wine to drink!”
"This…"
Dian Wei didn't believe it.
Cao Manqing quickly tried to persuade him." Dian Yingxiong, my master's troops should be reaching Chenliu soon. Why don't you come with me to visit my master? If he doesn't take you in, you can kill me with your halberd. What do you think?"”
"This…"
Dian Wei was slightly moved.
He had been living in exile for a period of time, and he had to admit that it was really too f * cking tough.
It would be fine if he was the only one suffering, but the key problem was that he had implicated his mother, mother-in-law, and children.
Dian Wei felt a little apologetic.
Now!
Such a good opportunity was right in front of him.
How could Dian Wei give up?
He pondered for a long time and slowly nodded.""Alright, I'll believe you this time. However, I'll have to settle down my mother before I can go with you.”
"Alright!" Cao Manqing was overjoyed. I was waiting for you to say that."
After saying that, he immediately took out two pieces of Horseshoe Gold from his pouch and stuffed them into Dian Wei's hands."Dian Yingxiong, take this money and settle the aunt and the child first. Buy some delicious food and let them have a full meal.”
When he took out the Horseshoe Gold, Dian Wei really believed it.
"This isn't very appropriate, is it?"”
Cao Manqing immediately retorted," What's wrong with that? My young master said that it's easy to get a thousand soldiers, but it's hard to get a general. With General Dian around, he can match up to a hundred thousand soldiers. Even if you give me a mountain of gold, I'll do it for you!"”
"Then…"
Dian Wei was indeed short of money recently. His mother was sick, his children were hungry, and the Yellow Turban rebels were causing trouble. The prices of goods soared. Even if he robbed houses, he had no place to do so.
Now that the two Horseshoe Gold were in his hands, he could not care less and immediately put them away."Alright, if this matter is true, I, Dian Wei, will never forget this kindness of Young Master Cao!”
Cao Manqing heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately brought Dian Wei back to the city."Let's go, let's go. Let's quickly arrange for auntie and the child. Then, follow me to wait for Old Master's army. As long as we reach the army, I guarantee that Old Master will definitely put you in an important position!”
"I hope so." Dian Wei nodded.”
"That must be the case!" Cao Manqing said confidently.”
