During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism was not yet popular.

The constraints on women are not as strict as those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Generally speaking, Confucianism in the Han Dynasty is still in its infancy and has not yet matured. Therefore, women in this era are relatively free and have little regard for marriage. They have their own opinions in various aspects. But the relative freedom is only relative. The low status of women is a fact that cannot be changed in this era and even for thousands of years to come. Especially after Ban Zhao, the binding force on women was worse than in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the early years, and even earlier, it was much stronger.

Ban Zhao, who is he?

This woman's name was Huiban, and she was from Anling, Fufeng. She was the daughter of Ban Biao and the sister of Ban Gu and Ban Chao.

Ban Gu wrote the Eight Tables of Hanshu and the posthumous manuscript of "Tianwen Zhi", but he died without completion. It was Ban Zhao who inherited his ambition and independently completed the seventh table of Han Shu, "Hundred Officials and Officials Table", and the sixth chronicle, "Tianwen Zhi". , "Han Shu" was finally completed and passed down to later generations...

Ban Zhao was once the queen's noble mentor, and was known as Cao Jia (pronounced gu, flat tone).

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Zhao was undoubtedly one of the representative figures of women and was praised by the world.

The reason why they are called "Cao Family" is because they are married to Cao Shou. Ban Zhao was widowed in his early years and became a female disciple, which was also the code of conduct for women at that time.

Therefore, if a married woman can work hard for a man and do not hesitate to show her face, how serious is her request?

Cai Yan had turned against the Wei family in his early years, but now for Cao Peng, he even humiliated himself and begged Wei for mercy. Is this a normal emotion?

It's not like Yang Di has never heard of these rumors.

But to be honest, he didn't quite believe it.

Because Cao Peng and Cai Yan are very different in age. There is no shortage of women around Cao Peng, how could he be with Cai Yan? But when the words came out of Guo Jia's mouth, the meaning seemed different. Yes, Cai Yan How could he beg for a man and his in-laws, who had already turned against each other, if it was just an ordinary friendship? Moreover, judging from Cao Cao's attitude, it seemed that not only was he not opposed to this matter, but he was even happy to see it come to fruition.

There are so many articles in this...

Yang Di has heard of Cao Peng for a long time, but has never seen Cao Peng.

This time, Cao Cao was lightly dressed and did not notify the governor of Xingyang County, nor did he inform Houyuan of Henan Yinxia. He only took Guo Jia and Yang Ye, and personally accompanied dozens of Ya soldiers, and quietly left the large group and went to Xingyang. .Indicates that he does not want to be known to too many people.

Although Yang Di is said to be a personal follower of Cao Cao, he is not a confidant.

This time he didn't shy away from him, which seemed to explain some problems.

That is, Cao Cao also believed that there seemed to be some relationship between Yang Di and Cao Peng, so he did not specifically let Yang Di avoid it.

It seems that this matter needs to be known to my father.

Yang Di secretly made up his mind on the road.

His father, named Yangxu, once served as the prefect of Nanyang during the reign of Emperor Ling. Later, due to the chaos in the imperial court, he returned home from official service.

Yang Xu once helped Cai Yong when he was in the most difficult period.

It was precisely because of this friendship that Cai Yong later betrothed his second daughter Cai Zhenji to Yang Xu’s son, Yang Di...

Wait, wait, my father once served as the governor of Nanyang.

It is said that Cao Peng's family lived in Zhongyang Mountain for many generations. Doesn't this mean that there was still some connection between Cao Peng's family and his own family?

Yang Xi was thinking about all this in his mind, and before he knew it, he accompanied Cao Cao and his party and entered Xingyang County.

The Battle of Guandu is not far away.

As one of the main battlefields of the entire war at that time, Xingyang was also affected by the flames of war. Before entering Xingyang, traces of the flames of war could be seen everywhere. However, after entering Xingyang County, I felt an obvious difference. In late autumn, it rained heavily.

The fields on both sides of the road have been harvested. From time to time, people are seen plowing the fields, taking advantage of the late autumn rain.

This is a necessary procedure for farming.

After harvesting, the land is plowed and then rested for a winter before sowing and cultivation in the coming year.

This is like taking a breath and resting after a hard day's work.

Plowing the fields is just a breath of fresh air, but after winter, the earth will go dormant.

"I didn't expect Xingyang County to be well managed."

Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder, along the way down, you can see the smoke of war everywhere.

On the contrary, Xingyang is like a pure land. The busy people look very happy and happy.

I believe this year's harvest in Xingyang County will not be too bad.

This was not the first time for Cao Cao to visit Heyi Workshop, so he was familiar with the journey.

They also knew that Cao Peng's family lived next to Heyi Workshop, so there was no need to inquire. When they walked to the Bank of Sishui River, they suddenly heard a scream.

Yang Di was shocked and quickly waved his hand to signal the guards to come forward.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao told them to disperse. He and Guo Jia rode up a hill, looked into the distance, and saw several groups of people training on a river beach not far away. Those people looked like they were not wearing official uniforms.

, but were dressed as private soldiers. They did not carry weapons, but just marched, ran, and made various movements on the river beach. There were several people on horses, wearing single clothes, who shouted harshly.

But I saw that the soldiers did not complain and followed the instructions of the horsemen and continued to perform drills.

Guo Jia suddenly pointed in the distance and saw a red-faced man training a group of soldiers. There were not many people, only about ten people. They stepped forward shirtless, and with an order, the soldiers immediately lined up on the river beach.

Go up and circle the ten people in the middle.

Then, the ten men were seen and started fighting with the soldiers.

From the beginning of one-on-one, to later, one-on-ten, the fight was extremely brutal...

Is it a gang fight in the countryside?

It seems not!

However, Yang Di has never seen such a method of training soldiers.

Those ten soldiers were obviously elite. After constant fighting, they were finally subdued by their opponents. The fierce scene made Yang Ding secretly surprised.

At this moment, Yang Xi suddenly heard Guo Jia whisper: "Master, look... is that the Third Young Master?"

Cao Cao was stunned and looked in the direction of Guo Jia's finger.

I saw a young general leading a group of people on the river beach.

"Anping, sir, I asked you to take the white camel soldiers into the mountains for training tomorrow."

"ah?"

"Hehe, this is the mission..." The young general reined in his horse and looked at the red-faced man, "Mr. Zhu, you are setting off into the mountains tonight. Tomorrow Anping will send white camel soldiers into the mountains to encircle and suppress you. This training will

It lasts for ten days... Within ten days, there will be no support. As long as you persist for ten days and you can still save three of your men, it will be considered a victory. Anping, if you lose... Sir, I will give you orders when the time comes.

A special training session is a must. By the way, Ling Ming and I will be the referees, so be careful when the time comes."

Both the red-faced man and the burly man on horseback immediately grimaced.

Cao Zhang laughed proudly, his eyes flashed unintentionally, and he suddenly spotted Cao Cao and others on the hill in the distance.

It was just that the distance was a bit far and it was difficult to see who it was. Cao Zhang frowned and without saying a word, he urged his horse and rushed towards the mound.

"Lord..."

Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.

"Forget it, stop hiding. If someone sees you, hiding again may cause trouble.

Fengxiao, let's go over and take a look, and by the way, find out what these people are doing and what tricks Ah Fu is playing."

"Here!"

Guo Jia responded immediately.

Cao Cao immediately rushed down the hill.

At this time, Cao Zhang also saw Cao Cao clearly and couldn't help being surprised.

Just as he was about to shout, Cao Cao put his finger to his lips to signal him not to shout.

Cao Zhang rode his horse to Cao Cao, kicked off the saddle, walked a few steps quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "Father, when did you come to Xingyang?"

"Just arrived."

Cao Cao raised his head and saw soldiers looking at him in the distance with alert expressions. So he reached out and pulled Cao Zhang up, "Let them disperse, and then accompany me to my residence."

"Here."

Cao Zhang quickly mounted his horse, ran back and told Pang Ming Zhudao, and then returned to Cao Cao.

As for Pang Ming and others, although they don't know who they are, they presumably have a high status. During this period, there were no celebrities or scholars in the family, so they didn't pay attention. Since Cao Peng opened the Fuzhi Building, the family suddenly became

It became lively. Many people came to visit, hoping to get some valuable papers from Cao Peng. At the same time, some people hoped to join forces with Cao Peng to run the blessing paper business.

Among them was the envoy from the Wei clan in Hedong.

Pang Ming was not surprised, so he led the team back to the river beach.

"Ziwen, what are they doing?"

Cao Zhang smiled and said: "The man on horseback is named Pang Ming. He is one of the two tigers that Mr. Xiliang collected in Xiliang. Those soldiers are Mr.'s white camel soldiers who are training. The red-faced one is named Zhu Dao, and he is a ranger.

Son, he used to work in the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce. During the Battle of Lintao, he and Wang Duwei sneaked into Lintao County and assisted General Gan in attacking Lintao, making great contributions. Now he is Mr.'s disciple.
