"Ling Zhi, you just said this is very simple, is there anything better?" Cao Ang suddenly remembered what Lin Zhi had just said and asked hurriedly.

"Of course I have. Brother Xiao Ma asked Yan Fa to work on some kind of roller printing machine before. This flatbed type is also constantly improving."

"Can we buy that one?"

Lin Zhi rolled her eyes at Cao Ang and said, "How do I know? Ask Brother Ma."

Cao Ang also knew that he was too excited, so he chuckled.

"Clang! Clang! Cang!"

With the sound of copper plates being lowered and stamped, newspapers came out freshly. Cao Ang picked up one and read it. The front page read "Tragic! The traitor Yuan Shao burned dozens of cities in Jizhou, and millions of people died."

Come home!》

It also comes with a picture, which shows the burned-out city of Ye, with women and children crying on the ground. In the distance, you can see an army marching into the mountains under the banner of Yuan. It seems you can also see some soldiers.

The stolen carriages and horses.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Yuan Shao's reputation here in Qingzhou may be over.

Looking at the text again, the writing style of the article is the same as that of the previous newspapers. There are no fancy words. It is like a businessman in a tavern talking about his experiences on the road. It is obvious that this article is not for those literati, but for those who are literati.

It is for ordinary people who do not have much cultural literacy.

"Huh? Han Fu hopes that the people of Qingzhou will donate money and materials?"

Cao Ang blinked. Of course he didn't believe that this was Han Fu's idea. Although he was not as mature as Cao Cao, he was no longer a boy.

Magong did this... in the hope that Qingji and Hebei could become one?

On one side is Yuan Shao, who is burning the city and the fields, and on the other side is Ma Qiang, who is settling down and dividing the land. Where will the people's hearts be?

But those nobles probably wouldn't think so.

"Lingzhi, can I take a newspaper with me?"

"Yes, but you have to pay."

When Cao Ang heard this, his hands trembled, he pulled off the jade pendant hanging from his waist, handed it to Lin Zhi and said, "Ling Zhi... I want you to accept this."

Lin Zhi took it, looked at it, threw it back and said, "It's not edible. I don't want it. You didn't bring any change, right? Forget it, I'll pay for it. You can treat me to dinner later!"

Cao Ang hurriedly caught the jade pendant that was thrown in the air. This jade pendant was given to him by Cao Song when he was ten years old. It was no problem to give it to Lin Zhi, but it would be a big problem if it fell.

"Let's eat... ok, you can order whatever you want!"

"It's a deal! Don't be a swindler, otherwise Bai Yan and I will file a lawsuit!"

Cao Ang looked at Lin Zhi with a tangled look on his face and turned around to direct the workers with a smile. He sighed slightly and hung the jade pendant around his waist again.

Does Lin Zhi understand her own thoughts...

——

"Boss! Give me some tofu, roasted sea cucumber with green onion, three shreds of shark's fin, white grilled four treasures, sweet and sour Yellow River carp, nine-turn large intestine... I want the Erguotou from Zhongping 5 years ago, don't say I don't have it!"

Cao Ang looked at Lin Zhi, whose mouth was like a machine gun, announcing the names of the dishes and the prices hanging on the wall, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

You should either... pawn the jade pendant...

"It's delicious! It's delicious! You should eat it too!"

Cao Ang raised his chopsticks, gritted his teeth, and attacked the delicacies worth three months' worth of food in front of him.

There is no way, he is still young, maybe because Cao Cao has been wild since childhood, Cao Cao is very tight on the issue of pocket money. Cao Ang can guarantee that if he steals a bride, his butt will be beaten by his father.

.

"By the way, Cao Ang, aren't you here for business? If you don't go to Uncle Jia, why are you here to see me?"

!!!

Done! Completely forgotten!!

"Ling Zhi, you eat first, I have to take a step ahead!"

Cao Ang grabbed the sword lying beside him and ran out with his followers.

"Pay!" Lin Zhi shouted loudly, causing Cao Ang to stop abruptly, throw the money bag to the shopkeeper and run away.

Jia Xu looked at Cao Ang who was running out of breath with confusion on his face.

Why don't you just tell yourself who will stay and who will go to Jizhou?

Is there any need to run so fast?

And... hasn't Xun Yan already said it, what are these people doing?

When he found out that Xun Yan had come once, Cao Ang immediately blushed. He realized that many of his uncles knew about his visit to Lin Zhi, and he couldn't help but seriously thinking about whether he should fall off his horse and pretend to be sick.

I’m really too embarrassed to see anyone!

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

Jia Xu handed the Qingzhou seal to Lu An under the watchful eyes of Qingcheng and Qingning, indicating that the transfer of power was completed.

Just like Empress Lu could take power on Liu Bang's behalf after Liu Bang's death, in the Han Dynasty, everyone recognized that relatives were an extension of the monarch's power, as long as the monarch was willing.

Lu An held the big seal and his breathing became rapid.

Thinking back on the time when I and my brothers lived in hiding in the mountains, I just thought that we would be like this for the rest of our lives.

God knows if he saved the big man in his previous life and allowed his two daughters to have such a blessing, and even he and his wife ascended to heaven.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jia! I will definitely protect Qingzhou for everyone!"

Jia Xu looked at Cao Ang beside him. As long as Cao Cao didn't take action, he wasn't worried about Qingzhou's safety.

As for Tao Qian's so-called allies, in Jia Xu's opinion, they were nothing more than appearances. Not to mention the Qingzhou Army, Cao Cao could overthrow them.

Accompanying Jia Xu to Jizhou were dozens of officials named by Ma Qiang, such as Guan Ning, and hundreds of selected students, merchants and even powerful men.

The entire team consisted of nearly a thousand people, which was quite impressive.

Entering Jizhou, Cao Ang felt the difference between this place and Qingzhou.

If anything, everything in Qingzhou gives people a feeling of vitality.

The sky in Jizhou seems to be getting dark.

There are no neat cement roads, no neatly planned fields, water canals, and the sound of reading aloud that can be heard from time to time. Even the common people who occasionally see them turn around and run away, unlike in Qingzhou, when they saw the officers and soldiers, they would take the initiative to say hello and even send food.

The scene is completely different.

But think about it carefully...

It's not that Jizhou is different, but Qingzhou is different.

What about Yanzhou? What path should Yanzhou take in the future?

After crossing the boundary bridge, you will find Guangzong.

Cao Ang, Xun Yan and others looked at the Jieqiao battlefield where the dark red soil could still be seen, feeling the aftertaste of the previous battle.

"Yuan Shao built such a large mound to defend his position, and had many soldiers and generals. How could he be defeated so quickly? It's really incredible."

Although Cao Ang and others had heard about artillery and gunpowder, they had never seen it with their own eyes. It was hard for them to imagine what kind of armaments could enable an army of more than 100,000 to be defeated in one battle. Yuan Shao was even defeated to the point where he did not have the courage to fight again.

, retreated directly to Bingzhou.

Cao Cao and others also discussed Yuan Shao's move, and they all believed that Yuan Shao was risking his life to survive.
