Chapter 42: Jinfan Ganning
On the fourth day of the sixth month of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuojun's diplomat Lu Su returned to Chang'an from Jiujiang on the second day, regardless of the fatigue of the journey, he set off to Luoyang again, and brought Dong Taishi's recital to Emperor Han Xian. The great rebellion of tyrannizing Yanzhou required the imperial court to order the princes to crusade against the traitor Cao Cao.
Lu Su's mission to make a pilgrimage to Emperor Han was much easier than the last mission to Hanzhong, Xichuan and Jiujiang, and now Chang'an was in full control of Luoyang's economic lifeline, and Kang Peng also gave Lu Su the power to mobilize the troops of Tongguan and Qingni Pass to assist - asking the imperial court to agree to this concert, no matter whether it was political or military means, Lu Su was not afraid that the old stubborn people in Luoyang would not agree.
In addition, Dong Taishi also sent a messenger down the Yellow River, carrying Dong Taishi's handwritten letter to Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, who had always been at odds with Cao Cao, explaining that he had made a statement about his assassination of Yanzhou, and greatly touted Kong Rong's identity as a descendant of the saint, and invited him to send troops to Rencheng, Dong Zhuo's army went out of Tongguan, attacked from both sides, and attacked the traitor Cao Cao together.
Kang Peng's trick can not be described as not poisonous, Yanzhou was in the hands of Cao Cao, he just asked the imperial court to seal Kong Rong as the Yanzhou assassin history, which is equivalent to letting Kong Rong Shengsheng snatch Yanzhou from Cao Cao's hands, if Cao Cao (of course) does not do it, he will be charged with disobedience to the decree, lose the moral opportunity, and any prince can use this charge to crusade against him, laying a wedge for Kang Peng's future march into the Central Plains. In fact, Kang Peng's move is also a trick to steal Cao Cao's history and seal Zhou Yu as the Taishou of Nanjun and provoke Sun Liu to start a war.
Dong Zhuojun not only put pressure on Cao Cao politically, but the elite of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry stationed in Chang'an also moved in the direction of Tongguan under the leadership of Lu Bu and Zhang Rust, making the illusion of preparing to send troops. At the same time, the Dark Moon Group ambushing Yanzhou also began to carry out large-scale activities, spreading the news that Dong Zhuo's army was about to attack Yanzhou in the middle of the pass, creating a panic atmosphere among the local people, and taking advantage of the weakness of Cao Cao's army that the Qingzhou Army was an independent organization, spreading rumors that Cao Cao, in order to appease Dong Taishi's anger, was ready to hand over the Yellow Turban Army's attack on Bishui Pass to Dong Taishi's inquisitor, shaking the morale of Cao Cao's army, and trying to make the Qingzhou army and Cao Cao's Chen Liujun infighting.
Not to mention that the day after Lu Su went to Luoyang and discussed with Jia Xu, Li Ru and others, after Kang Peng finished handling his business, he finally remembered that there was another Gan Ning who was locked up in the prison.
When Gan Ning and other eight hundred brocade thieves were escorted back to Chang'an by Zhao Yun, Kang Peng wanted to subdue him at that time, but when he heard that Gan Ning kept scolding himself for being dirty and ugly on the road, and caught him by despicable and shameless means, and after understanding Gan Ning's temper, Kang Peng changed his mind and ordered to first incorporate Gan Ning's subordinates, temporarily put Gan Ning in prison, and confess good wine and meat, but he must be locked in the dirtiest and smelliest cell, and no one is allowed to say a word to Gan Ning, and Gan Ning's arrogance is polished mentally.
Kang Peng's order has always been a holy decree in the Xiliang army, and this time to deal with Gan Ning is no exception, when Kang Peng approached the prison where Gan Ning was held, he almost didn't spit it out - it stinks! Later, Kang Peng learned that in order to complete his order, the guards actually picked up a few buckets of feces and moved them to the prison, which was changed once a day, and the prison was so airtight that Gan Ning, who had a habit of cleanliness, almost wanted to commit suicide.
Kang Peng hurriedly ran out of the door, asked people to pick out the dung, and found a sachet to block his nose before he dared to enter the cell again. When he arrived in front of the cell where Gan Ning was held alone, Kang Peng found that Gan Ning had fallen asleep, and Kang Peng did not wake him up, waiting for the guards to lay out the brocade on the ground and put all kinds of items, Kang Peng sat on the ground, "Gan Xingba, you are so comfortable." β
Kang Peng's voice was not loud, but Gan Ning still woke up quickly in his sleep, and suddenly threw himself in front of the iron fence, and shouted excitedly: "It's been more than two months, and finally someone has spoken!" Gan Ning was very excited, and the iron chain in his hand and the iron bar with the thickness of his wrist kept colliding, making a clattering sound.
"Ugly old man, though you are ugly." Kang Peng's personal soldiers have lit dozens of candles in the cell, illuminating the cell brightly, Gan Ning has not seen a strong light since he was locked in, his eyes are suddenly uncomfortable, when Gan Ning saw the appearance of the old man sitting on the splendid carpet, he couldn't help shouting: "But you just take a piece of the splendid carpet and give it to the beautiful Uncle Gan, and the beautiful Uncle Gan will deign to talk to you." β
Kang Peng didn't say a word, he asked for a jade hookah gun carved with dragons and phoenixes, inlaid with gold and jade, and inhaled Hu Lulu, so that the tobacco mixed with spices drove away the stench, and also made Gan Ning mad, "Ugly old man, you speak, give me a piece of splendid carpet, these wheat grass are dirty and smelly, I can't stand it." "Ugly old man, what is that thing in your hand?" Really beautiful and mellow, show me! "Ugly old man, are you dumb? Why don't you speak? β
Kang Peng smoked the hookah made by himself plagiarized from later generations, and coldly watched Gan Ning go crazy, the current Gan Ning in history is still a lawless water thief, killing people and setting fire to the house and robbing the house, just like a wild horse, it doesn't make sense to reason with him, until he is thirty years old, he suddenly woke up and established immortal achievements, but there are occasional times when he is crazy. These days, I arranged a mental blow to him, hoping to make him mature early and use it for himself.
Kang Peng leisurely spat out a smoke ring at Gan Ningβa standard action he used to tease female classmates in the 21st century, "You say I'm ugly, are you beautiful?" β
"Of course Uncle Ben is beautiful." Gan Ning patted his chest and shouted, "Is the name of Boss Jinfan called for nothing?" But ugly old man, don't worry, although you are very ugly, but the beautiful Uncle Gan is lonely, deigning to talk to you ugly, you should feel honored. β
Kang Peng spit out another smoke ring disdainfully, and waved his head at the pro-soldiers, "Give him a bronze mirror and let him see how beautiful he is." β
Gan Ning took the bronze mirror handed by Kang Peng's soldiers in wonder, and was stunned after just one glance, is the person in this mirror a beautiful self? His face was covered with dirt, his messy beard was three or four inches long, and his hair was disheveled, much better than that of the ugly old man, like the evil spirits of hell.
"Ah!!!!h Gan Ning struggled to twist the bronze mirror and slammed it on the ground, "Take a razor, the beautiful Uncle Gan wants to shave!" Hurry up and bring the cloth, the beautiful Uncle Gan wants to wipe his face! β
When Gan Ning yelled, Kang Peng said coldly, "You are a water thief, why did the old man give you a razor and a cloth?" β
Gan Ning was furious, and desperately shook the iron railing and shouted: "Bold! Ugly old man! What are you? Beautiful Uncle Gan, I'm the boss of the Jinfan thieves, why don't you give me a razor and cloth? β
"Fuck your shit!" Kang Peng scolded, he wanted to throw the jade hookah gun on Gan Ning's face, but as soon as his hand was raised, he found that the jade hookah gun was too expensive, and when he was hesitating, one of his fast-eyed soldiers handed over the tile night pot placed in the corner of the wall, Kang Peng casually smashed the tile night pot on the iron railing, and the smelly urine splashed Gan Ning's head all over his face!
Without waiting for Gan Ning to go crazy, Kang Peng rushed to the iron fence, pointed at Gan Ning's nose and scolded: "Five years ago, you Gan Ning killed innocent people in Linjiang, Ba County, and then fled to another country as a thief, in five years, you robbed more than 1,700 times, originally you relied on robbery to make a living in the nowhere to go out blameless, but only more than 100 times you robbed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the others robbed past merchants or innocent people, how many families were ruined?" How many wives have been separated? Do you know any of these? β
Kang Peng's words made Gan Ning, who was in a half-madness, stammer, and it took a long time before Gan Ning muttered: "I am going to eliminate the ugly ...... for the sake of beauty."
"Fart!" Kang Peng grabbed the wooden stick handed by his own soldiers, and slammed Gan Ning's head through the iron bar, until the thick wooden stick of the rolling pin was broken, and Gan Ning's head was also bleeding, Kang Peng panted and scolded: "Beautiful? Indeed, you ride on foot and ride in a chariot, and you sail in a light boat and a luxury boat, and even your men are dressed in splendid clothes, and they use splendid silk as a fiber to tie the boat, and when you leave, you have to cut off and abandon it, so as to show your wealth and luxury! β
"But ......!" Kang Peng smashed the jade hookah on Gan Ning's head and yelled, "Where did you get all this money?" It wasn't obtained by plundering ordinary people! For the sake of your so-called beauty, you do not hesitate to put your pain on the heads of others, is a garbage like you also worthy of being beautiful? Is that true beauty? β
After Kang Peng's stormy scolding, Gan Ning first jumped like thunder, then sat down and meditated, and then said: "Then what is really beautiful?" β
Kang Peng said lightly: "I will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf!" For the country and the people, the chivalrous is also beautiful! β
Gan Ning sat for a long time, and suddenly cried loudly......
β¦β¦
After subduing Gan Ning, Kang Peng dragged his tired body back home, who knew that as soon as he entered the gate, Cai Wenji hugged Dong Peng to greet him, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, the father and daughter of the Qiao family have come to see you, and they are waiting in the hall." Cai Wenji leaned into Kang Peng's ear and said coquettishly: "I also know their intentions, I also saw the eldest lady of the Qiao family, her appearance is really good, and she is infatuated with you, if you like it, you can put it in the room together." β
Kang Peng glanced at Cai Wenji, and said in his heart, will you be so generous? It's clear that you want to provoke me not to accept them, you don't know what kind of temper you have? Kang Peng shook his head and said: "Madam, don't talk nonsense, as early as the time of Jiujiang, Qiao Gong wanted to marry his eldest daughter to Zijing, and Qiao Gong's youngest daughter also had a sweetheart. Besides, Zijing is an important minister for her husband, and now she is not too young, it is time to start a family, and it is reasonable for her husband to think about it. β
Cai Wenji's heart suddenly bloomed, but she still pretended to be disdainful and said, "Cut, are you so well-behaved?" If you're not lustful, how can you rob Sister Fuyu? Why did you rob me again at my wedding? β
Kang Peng looked left and right, the soldiers and servants immediately twisted their faces away, Kang Peng leaned over Cai Wenji and kissed him, and said in a low voice: "If you don't believe it, Mrs. will go with her husband to meet the father and daughter of the Qiao family, and by the way, help her husband to get rid of Qiao Xuan, who is bent on climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix." β
