Chapter 098: Planning for the Future
Cao Peng's fierce reaction startled Guo Jia.
Perhaps out of a sense of self-preservation, he instinctively took a step back, looking at Cao Peng a little nervously, a little dazed.
As for Cao Peng, after a short gaffe, he quickly reacted.
He also knew that what he had just done was a little inappropriate. I have to say that when facing Guo Jia, he is indeed difficult to control his emotions. This is one of the most outstanding figures in the Cao Wei group, and at the same time a tragic figure. In the Cao Wei group, there are two characters with tragic surnames. One is Guo Jia, and the other is Xun Yu. Xun Yu is in Cao Ying, with the Han family in his heart, and has always struggled in contradictions. In the end, he chose the Han family, which made Cao Ying have to make up his mind, and gave Xun Yu a final death to serve the country.
As for Guo Jia, he is different from Xun Yu.
He is not as good as Xun Yu, nor is he like Xun Yu, who has a particularly deep affection for the Han family.
Guo Jia's ancestor Guo Gong, although he is said to be three generations of Jiuqing, has become a family of his own in the study of Xiao Dulu. But by Guo Jia's generation, the Guo family has declined. Although Guo Jia's father is a petty official, he can barely support the faΓ§ade. Therefore, Guo Jia's feelings for the Han family are not deep, and he abandons the law and cultivates strategies, and his true psychology is not to want to break off with the family.
Cao Ying has the grace of knowing Guo Jia, so Guo Jia also made up his mind to repay him with a countryman.
It's a pity that his body ...... Just when he wanted to show his strength, he died unexpectedly at the age of 38. When later generations talked about Guo Jia, they couldn't help but sigh. Cao Peng even felt that the phrase 'die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears' may be more appropriate if it is used on Guo Jia's body. As for Zhuge Liang, he has at least controlled the Shu Han Dynasty for many years, how can he be regarded as 'dying before leaving the school'?
Therefore, since his rebirth, Cao Peng, who has always been light and calm, has finally lost his temper!
"It is Guo Jia, why is Ah Fu so surprised?"
Cao Peng hurriedly said: "I have heard that Guo Fengxiao's ghost is shocking to the world, and Cao Peng really admires it." When I saw it just now, I couldn't help but feel a little excited, and I hope that Guo will forgive me. β
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear!
No matter how good Ren Guojia's cultivation is, he still feels very comfortable when he hears this kind of sycophancy.
A blush appeared on his thin face, and he smiled slightly, "Ah Fu has won the award." β
"Fengxiao, I'll take you to Tielu to watch."
"Jia is disrespectful."
Deng Ji smiled and pulled Guo Jia to prepare to leave, Cao Peng had the heart to follow, but Xu Yi was competing with Dianman over there, and he couldn't get out for a while.
Seeing that Guo Jia was leaving, Cao Peng couldn't bear it, and suddenly said: "Guo sacrificed wine, take care of your body." β
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then stopped and looked back at Cao Peng.
If there is another person, Guo Jia will not be angry...... Okay, let me take care of my body more? Isn't that a curse on me?
But seeing Cao Peng's sincerity, Guo Jia couldn't get angry.
"There is Lao Cao's little brother who is concerned, Guo Jia will remember it in his heart."
After speaking, he followed Deng Ji away.
Looking at Guo Jia's back, Cao Peng suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped himself in the mouth.
"Good end, what are you talking about?"
He came back to his senses and sighed softly.
At the same time, I was happy for Deng Ji in my heart...... became friends with Xun Yu Guo Jia, although his brother-in-law cut off an arm, it was not a blessing.
It stands to reason that this Eastern Han Dynasty is an official and pays attention to appearance.
After Deng Ji cut off one of his arms, it was difficult to become an official. It's not important to be an official, but if you want to be an official and a big official, it's very difficult!
However, if there is turmoil today, there are many princes.
The requirements for grooming and grooming also do not seem to be as strict as earlier.
befriended Guo Jiaxunyu, plus full of favors...... Well! Cao Peng feels that Deng Ji's physical disability is no longer the key, but his own talent. It's a pity that Deng Ji didn't learn the art of war and strategy, nor did he manage the country and secure the country. He majored in the law, which is a bit biased.
"Ah Fu, how is this Raush fighting?"
Xu Yi broke through the battle three times in a row amid the ridicule of the man, but failed to succeed.
couldn't help but shout loudly, Cao Peng couldn't help laughing. motioned to Deng Fan to take a pair of special cowhide and handed it to Xu Yi.
"Second brother, even this, you have to do some protection.
Bring it first, and I'll teach you how to break into the Tiangang Array...... It's definitely not okay for you to break in like this, it's best to replace the iron sand with sandbags and practice from scratch. β
Underneath the cowhide, there is a thick cloth pad, about half a centimeter thick. It is about three fingers wide and about one meter long.
Cao Peng walked up and helped Xu Yi wrap the cowhide pad around Xu Yi's hand.
After the fingers, palms, and wrists are properly wound, they are tightened, and the pads are wrapped with two thin hemp ropes to become a recommended sanda glove. Xu Yi moved his fingers and found that his fingers were not affected in any way. It was slightly uncomfortable, but overall, it didn't seem to be a big deal. However, he became more and more curious, how many secrets were hidden in Cao Peng's body?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ "Ah Fu is very interesting! β
Guo Jia said to Deng Ji with a smile.
Deng Ji was a little surprised, "Ah Fu is usually very steady, I don't know what's going on today, when he speaks, it's a little upside down, don't you care." β
"Hah, what's this? Does he mean well, too? β
The two walked towards Tielu, chatting as they walked.
Guo Jia suddenly asked, "Uncle and grandson, have you ever thought about going out to do things?" β
"Huh?"
"You are a good learner and proficient in the law, and it stands to reason that you should go to Dali to work. But the problem is that you don't have a good reputation and a little lack of qualifications. It is estimated that you will have to start from scratch when you go to Dali. Seniority, reputation, even if I can help you, not for a decade or two, you can't think of getting ahead. β
Dali, also known as Tingwei, one of the Nine Qings, is in charge of criminal law.
It was originally placed by the Qin Dynasty, and in the sixth year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, it was renamed Dali. After the change of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wai and the new Mang regime, the names of Tingwei and Dali have been changing. At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty restored the title of Tingwei, but by the time of Emperor Huan, it became Dali again.
Reason, in ancient times, was said to be the earth, and it was also said to be reasonable.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty added the word 'big', which means Dali.
Therefore, it is in charge of the criminal officer's office, also called Dali Temple.
Deng Ji cultivates the name of the penalty, specializes in small Dulu, and Dali Temple is undoubtedly the best place to go. But in that, you really need to work on qualifications...... Guo Jiadao: "I think that if you are in Dali, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to show your strengths." And it's hard to do anything big. It's better to go out, govern one side, and make a career. With your talent, it is easier to get ahead than to stay in Dali and suffer. To be honest, Xu Du is not at peace now, and if you stay in Xu Du, it is easy to be hated and even framed. β
Deng Ji was silent!
In his heart, of course, he wanted to stay in Xudu.
His wife, Cao Nan, has been pregnant for eight months and is about to give birth. And the family, wife and children are all in Xudu, and life will be much easier.
Staying in Xudu has the advantage of staying in Xudu; But as Guo Jia said, going out also has the advantage of going out.
It's just that after I went out, I didn't know the place well...... "Fengxiao, what you said is very true, but it is a little sudden, and I can't make a decision for a while." Besides, I'm afraid I'm ...... when I give birth soon."
"Oh, I'm just telling you that, if you really want to do it, you need a chance.
The reason why I say this is to prepare you. To tell you the truth, Ling Yue made the Tiangang knife, which was very popular with the lord, and it will be reused sooner or later. When the time comes, you will have two choices, either stay in Xudu or go out to practice. Personally, I think it's better to go out.
You think about it so that you don't rush ......"
Guo Jia is four years older than Deng Ji, and he thinks more carefully than Deng Ji.
He really regarded Deng Ji as a brother, otherwise he would not have said such words.
Guo Jia said these words today, in fact, he assured Deng Ji: You don't have to worry about your future, I can recommend it for you...... For Guo Jia's thoughts, Deng Ji was naturally very grateful.
"If Brother Lao is concerned, the younger brother will think about it seriously."
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered July.
The battle between the tiger and the guard is approaching.
The generals under Cao Ying's command also got the news.
But what interested them the most was the thirty-six Tiangang knives that Cao Ying treasured in Cao's mansion! The matter of the Tiangang knife gradually spread, and as the general of the Cao family, they naturally hoped to get the Tiangang knife one by one. Because it is not only an honor, but also represents a position in Cao Ying. Thirty-six Tiangang, who will get it? This has caused a lot of speculation and speculation.
Several generals who served Cao Ying at the earliest will definitely get this honor.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Ying, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Le Jin Yu Ban and others must have a hand.
There are many monks and little porridge, which makes many people feel nervous...... And Cao Peng still lives a leisurely and leisurely life. Things outside don't seem to have anything to do with him, every day he reads, practices martial arts, or accompanies his father to build weapons in the iron house, or accompanies his mother and sister to play around the dock fort. The Xu capital of autumn has a unique taste. Longshan maple red, Yingshui meandering. Between the mountains and rivers, it can make people's minds tranquil, and it can also cultivate people's feelings.
It's a pity that Cao Penghui doesn't have many poems.
Otherwise, if you steal two songs, you can also make a small reputation.
Xu Yi would come to the Dianjiawu every day to practice martial arts, and after a period of practice, he had slowly mastered the mystery of the Tiangang Array.
The time spent in it is getting longer and longer, and it gradually becomes equal to the time of the dayman.
Deng Fan, after this long period of practice, with the kung fu of Baduanjin, he reached the stage of guiding qi into the bones in one fell swoop and entered the stage of bone-changing.
After that, he and Wang Mai worked together with Cao Peng to shake the gun and slide the rod.
In order to practice this shaking gun, Cao Peng really put a lot of thought into it. He asked Cao Zhen for help and searched for ash trees within a radius of 100 miles around Xu County. The requirements are very strict, at least 20 years old, and there can be no scars. After picking these ash trees, Cao Peng made them according to the teachings of the old martial artists in his previous life. In his previous life, when Cao Peng practiced martial arts, the old martial artist had more than a dozen ash rods in his hand, which were specially used to shake the gun slide rod. Cao Peng also bought one, which was longer than the old martial artist's ash rod, but the weight was far from comparable.
After the nineties of the twentieth century, due to the reason of large-scale felling, the three-year-old ash rod can already be regarded as a high-end product.
A good ash rod, heavy and dense, the surface is blue, and there is no scar at all.
Straight as a cut, the head of the pole cannot be much thinner than the handle of the gun. With a shake of force, the shaft trembled. The amplitude of the clubhead is not large, but it lasts.
Such an ash rod is a really good rod.
In Cao Peng's previous life, he always hoped to buy a good ash rod, but unfortunately he failed to achieve his wish.
Later, when I went to work, this thought was thrown away and gradually faded...... Now the Three Kingdoms are reborn, and in the vicinity of Longshan alone, there are many ash trees that are twenty years old, even fifty years, hundred years, or even hundreds of years.
Cao Zhen asked people to send him thirty ash trees, and Cao Peng made a total of fifty ash poles of different lengths, weights, and thicknesses according to the situation of the ash trees themselves. Then, according to the situation of Wang Mai and Deng Fan, the three of them each chose one.
After Cao Peng changed his bones, his strength increased greatly.
The weight of the ash rod has reached about 16 catties.
Wang Mai and Deng Fan's ash rods weigh about 30 catties. Every time I practice shaking the gun slider, the bones all over my body are sore, but the effect is very obvious.
As for Xu Yi and Dianman...... The two of them worked hard all day long, and they fought hard in the school field.
The two of them have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they have practiced all the skills passed down from the family. In history, because Dian Wei died early and Dian Man was young at the time, he did not obtain the true biography of Dian Wei. Although he left his name in the history books, he did not have any great achievements; Xu Yi's situation is different, he still made a great name in history. In the end, he died in battle, and he could be regarded as a horse leather shroud, which fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the general.
Now, Dian Wei is still alive!
The future of Dianman will be a different picture.
But because their foundation has been laid, their kung fu has also taken shape. If you contact Cao Peng's routines, it's not very suitable.
Therefore, the two of them only choose the practice they like, and the right is regarded as a joke, which is better than boring practice every day.
Each has its own place, and Cao Peng didn't interfere too much in asking...... On the seventh day of July, an autumn rain turned cold.
As the performance of Wu Yueyi approached, Xu Du became more and more lively.
As for Cao Zhen, since he got out of prison, he has become chattering, and he has a bit of a dragon who sees the beginning and the end.
I am still in Xudu today, and I may have run to Yin, Henan on the second day, and I may appear in Luoyang on the third day. Fortunately, there was no war during this time, and Cao Zhen asked Xu Huang and Cao Ying for a long vacation, so no one asked him about it.
Cao Peng naturally knew that Cao Zhen was busy with something.
Around the fifth day of the seventh month, Zhu Zan suddenly came to the door.
"Ah Fu, I'm leaving!"
Cao Peng couldn't react at once, and subconsciously asked, "Fourth brother, where are you going?" β
"Yesterday, it was said that General Yuan asked me to recruit me in the name of Henan Yin, and Cao Peng, the governor of Henan Yin, was appointed as the captain of the northern part of Luoyang."
"Huh?"
Cao Peng was taken aback.
Lieutenant of the north of Luoyang? That's the position that Cao Ying held with a five-color stick.
In terms of official position, it is not too big, but it is only 400 stones. But Luoyang is Yanjing, the northern lieutenant...... That's a very important position, in charge of law and order and other affairs. At the same time, the area under the jurisdiction of the northern lieutenant of Luoyang is also the most prosperous place in Luoyang.
Although the situation in Luoyang now is very different from when Cao Ying was the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, it is an important position after all.
"So, is Big Brother located in the north?"
Zhu Zan nodded and said softly: "The northern part of Luoyang is a prosperous place, where Luoshui and Yishui meet, and the eastern and western merchants and goods converge here. β
"And what help does the fourth brother need?"
Zhu Zan smiled: "You don't need to help!" With Yuan letting the general be there, it must not be a problem.
In addition, your sixth brother will also leave after a while. β
"Where is Sixth Brother going?"
"The lord recruited Zhong Yuanchang, served as the lieutenant of the division, and supervised the soldiers and horses in the Guanzhong to guard the Chang'an area. Through the relationship of Xun Shangshu, Zidan recommended your sixth brother to Zhong Yuanchang, Ren Zuoshi, who was in charge of the official and apprentice roster, and went to Chang'an with him. β
When Cao Peng heard this, he couldn't help but gasp!
Si Lixiaowei, formerly known as Crouching Tiger, was a supervisor who supervised the Beijing division and the local government in the Han Dynasty. If Dali is compared to the Supreme Court of later generations, then Si Lixiao Wei is a prosecutor who reads outside the judiciary. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was recruited and placed at the beginning of the fourth year, and was later omitted from the school lieutenant and called Si Li. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the commander of the school was reinstated, and the rank was changed from 2,000 stone to 2,000 stone...... From the point of view of Yu Lu, the captain of Sili was half a block lower than that of the Western Han Dynasty.
And this is because the Eastern Han Dynasty set its capital in Luoyang. In fact, the real power is not visible at all. It is equipped with subordinate officials, and has a private armed force of 1,500 people, which is not controlled by the local political axe. Cao Zun was transferred to Chang'an?
The energy of Cao Zhen's tide file is really not small!
At the same time, Cao Peng was very surprised.
Zhong Xuan's name, Cao Peng didn't know. However, all he knew was that Zhong Xuan was a famous calligrapher at that time. The calligraphy of later generations is all from the 'King Zhong'. This 'king' is Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and 'Zhong' is Zhong Xuan. The reason why Cao Peng can remember Zhong Xuan is not so much because of Zhong Xuan, but because of his son, Zhong Hui.
Zhong Xuan was born in the Zhong family, Yingchuan.
When he was young, he was sponsored by his grandfather, and he was promoted to filial piety, and he served as Shang Shulang, and the order of Yangling (now Xianyang). Later, he resigned due to illness, and was considered to be Ting Weizheng and Huangmen Shilang. In the third year of the first peace, Cao Ying sent an envoy to contact Li Dao Guo Yan. At that time, Li Guo and the others doubted Cao Ying's sincerity and were reluctant to communicate. It was Zhong Xuan's persuasion that made Li Dao Guo Yan befriend Cao Ying, and made Cao Ying recognized by the imperial court.
Later, Li Dao and Guo Yan exchanged troops, and Zhong Miao planned to rescue the Han Emperor.
It can be said that the Han Emperor was able to escape from Chang'an, and Zhong Xuan contributed a lot. Later, he was appointed as the middle of the imperial history, and in the first year of Jian'an, he moved to the book and shot the servant, and the Marquis of Dongwu Pavilion.
Speaking of which, Zhong Xuan definitely belongs to the royalist party, and he is also a member of the Yingchuan clan.
Cao Ying appointed him...... Isn't it a gesture of bowing to the world, or is it an ulterior motive?
However, these are too far away for Cao Peng.
There was a trace of sadness in my heart, and not long after the righteousness, the brothers had to go their separate ways. Thinking about it, Cao Peng couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Zhu Zan smiled, "There is one more thing, Zidan is setting up wine in Yuxiu Building tonight, let me inform you that you must arrive early ......"
"Is it a send-off?"
"Hehe, yes and no."
Zhu Zan lowered his voice and whispered in Cao Peng's ear: "Uncle Cao is back, he wants to see you." β
Uncle Cao?
Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "But the doctor is still the doctor?" β
Zhu Zan smiled, and immediately bowed his head......
(To be continued)
