Chapter 138: Xiapi

Lu Bu, a highly controversial figure.

On the whole, later generations have evaluated him more derogatorily than positively. A Romance of the Three Kingdoms made Lu Bu get the name of a three-surnamed domestic slave.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Peng found that although people's evaluation of Lu Bu was not high, it was not too evil.

It is only said that it is the surname of the tiger wolf, and it cannot be believed.

And the saying of the three surnames of domestic slaves...... At least Cao Peng has not heard it yet.

People say that Lu Bu is called the tiger of the world, or that he is the general of the tiger and wolf.

is the so-called red rabbit in the horse, and Lu Bu in the people. In a way, he expressed his appreciation for Lu Bu.

This capricious person with the surname of Tiger and Wolf can be alone, and he was even cited as a big trouble by Cao Ying. To some extent, it also seems to explain Lu Bu's ability. Before Cao Peng was reborn, he had heard such a saying: Lu Bu is also a traverser. He is selfish, he is repetitive, he is lustful, but he is very gentle with women, and he is a peerless good man in later generations.

His emphasis on family is far from being possessed by people of this era.

In the Battle of Xiapi, Chen Gong suggested that LΓΌ Bu divide his troops to defend. However, because of the persuasion of his family, Lu Bu could not leave Xiapi, and finally died tragically. He was a good husband and a good father. Yuan Shu forced him to send his daughter to Shouchun to get married, Lu Bu carried his daughter on his back, repeatedly rushed to kill in the chaotic army, even if he was exhausted in battle, he refused to abandon his daughter, and returned to Xiapi City with his daughter.

Compared with some people who abandon their wives and children at every turn, Lu Bu may be more loved by girls.

When later generations talked about Lu Bu's unwavering devotion to his family, it was inevitable to mention that Liu Bei abandoned his wife and children four times and fled for his life alone.

Among them, two were committed by Lu Bu.

But Lu Bu's treatment of Liu Bei's family can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

After Lu Bu was captured, Cao Ying originally hoped to take Lu Bu in, but Liu Bei lost his surname by a word.

Subsequently, Lu Bu's family seemed to have been divided between Cao Ying, Liu Bei and others. Among them, the most famous is probably the story of Guan Yu and Diao Chan...... Diao Chan is also a character who is loved by many people.

Beauty Hero ...... Guan Yu respects Diao Chan, Diao Chan loves Guan Yu, and the hero with the beauty seems to be the most perfect ending.

But Cao Peng doesn't seem to agree with this ending.

Puyang Min asked him to visit Lu Bu in Xiapi with gifts, and Cao Peng was surprised and delighted.

Happily, he was able to see this legendary figure with his own eyes; Surprised, Lu Buna and the others, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with.

But whether he wants it or not, it is imperative to go down.

Regardless of whether it is public or private, Cao Peng has no excuses. General Lu Bubai Zuo, fake Xuzhou matter. Although this fake Xuzhou matter is a bit unjustifiable, no matter what, he always controls Xuzhou. Haixi is a subordinate county of Guangling; Guangling is under the rule of Xuzhou, and now Shangguan is victorious, as the following counties, they have to go to congratulate them. This is a matter that no one can shirk.

As Pu Yang Min said, Deng Ji is not there, and Cao Peng should be represented.

This qualification is not possessed by Puyang Min and Buqi. Cao Peng had no way to excuse himself, so he had no choice but to respond to this matter...... But before leaving, Cao Peng still has some things to do.

First of all, he asked Buqi to get rid of Chen Sheng's industry as soon as possible, and after exchanging enough money and grain, he would speed up the repair of Haixi County.

The dilapidated city wall really needs to be repaired.

And the corresponding weapons must also be fully equipped. After all, for so many years, Haixi County has been unmanaged, and the weapons in the treasury have long been lost. It's ridiculous, Cao Peng's father is in charge of the smelting superintendents, and he is responsible for the world's weapons. However, when Cao Peng needed it, he faced many difficulties. Weapons must be prepared secretly, not blatantly, and not known by too many people.

Otherwise, it's easy to startle the snake.

Secondly, Cao Peng visited Huang Cheng and other leaders of the nine guilds.

He repeatedly explained that the rectification of the North Market could not be delayed, and the first thing that was urgent at the moment was to put the Cao Peng Department in order as soon as possible.

This manpower, Cao Peng decided to be headed by the nine major lines, and each family has ten people.

And once these ten people are included in Cao Peng's office, they will no longer have anything to do with the nine leaders.

Huang Cheng showed enough understanding of this request, and promised that the problem of Cao Peng's department would be solved within three days.

Cao Peng sketched a beautiful blueprint for them, and now they must repay the favor and give Cao Peng support.

After solving these two things, Cao Peng went to Chen Sheng's Grange again.

Overall, Chen Sheng's grange is relatively calm. Thousands of farmers did not show much resistance.

Now that Gu Yue is coming soon, farming is definitely impossible. But with so many people, they can't be left idle. If you are idle, you will think crankily, and if you are idle, you will give birth to chaos. That night, Cao Peng rushed back to the county government non-stop, and after discussing with Buqi, he decided to put all these thousands of households into the project of repairing the city wall. Thousands of people will start the work, which will not add to the trouble for Haixi, but also keep these people busy. At the same time, by repairing the city wall, it is also an opportunity for the county government to show its strength and prestige to the Haixi people.

By the time everything was arranged, it was past midnight.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Cao Peng lay on the couch, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

Tomorrow, I will leave for Xiapi to meet Lu Bu...... Well, a small county order, I'm afraid I may not have the opportunity to meet Lu Bu.

It is estimated that the gift will be placed over there, and a name will be left to prove that someone from Haixi County has come, and it will be over.

But Cao Peng felt a little unwilling, and he hoped to take this opportunity to meet Lu Bu. Because he knew that Lu Bu had seen him once, and he had one less time...... Alas, what a contradiction, what a headache!

Cao Peng rolled over, closed his eyes, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

In his sleep, he dreamed that he was riding on the white of the night, galloping across the plains. The white wind is speeding in the night, and he feels the refreshment. Suddenly, a fire rushed towards him right in front of him. The person on the horse, dressed in a hundred flower robes, covered with Tang Qi treasure armor, a red rabbit hissing wind beast in his crotch, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd. majestic and murderous, easily blocking Cao Peng's way.

"Dare to ask, but Wenhou Lu Bu?"

The general right away, laughing.

It's strange to say, the other party is obviously not far from him, but he can't see his appearance clearly.

Just when Cao Peng was puzzled, the general suddenly rushed over, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand somehow turned into the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife.

A red face, lying silkworm eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a beautiful hair under the chin.

"Cao thief, leave ...... Guan Yu is here! ”

said that it was too late, it was too fast, Guan Yu swung his knife and slashed at Cao Peng.

I don't know why, the moment the Qinglong Glaive Knife slashed at him, Cao Peng's body seemed to be unable to move, and he watched the bright steel knife get closer and closer!

"Ahh

Cao Peng screamed, turned over and sat up.

Inside, the candles flickered and the light was dim.

The charcoal fire in the brazier was still burning, and the room was as warm as spring.

Forehead, drenched in cold sweat.

Clothes soaked with sweat...... Cao Peng only felt that his mouth was dry, and he stumbled down from the bed, picked up a bowl of boiled water, and drank a big bowl of it.

Call...... It's so fucking weird, it's so good, how could you have such a weird dream?

Cao Peng wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

It is said that there is a thought, and there is a dream at night.

Could it be that this dream reminds me that going to Xiapi this time is not as easy as I imagined? Cao Peng was an atheist in his previous life, but now, he is not sure. Even something as weird as rebirth can happen, what else is impossible in this world?

Looks like you have to be careful!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Cao Peng didn't sleep well all night.

Whenever he closed his eyes, he would dream that Guan Yun would open his teeth and dance his claws, and pounce on him with the Green Dragon Glaive Knife...... So much so that after dawn, Cao Peng got up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. The spirit also seemed a little sluggish, and at the same time, the tinnitus was terrible, and the head was buzzing.

"Ah Fu, are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Mai looked at Cao Peng's haggard appearance and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Cao Peng waved his hand, pulled Wang Mai and said, "Brother Hutou, it may take a few days for me to go to Xiapi." You keep an eye on it here, and by the way, pay more attention to Wang Cheng. You have a snack at the North Bazaar, and when everyone arrives, you must collect it for your own use as soon as possible.

I'll be three or five days at the least, or seven or eight days at the most, and I'll definitely come back. ”

"Don't worry, the matter over there in the North Market, Fifth Brother and I will pay attention to it."

"Hmmm......"

Cao Peng nodded, and didn't say anything more.

He knows Wang Mai very well, although he is straighter, but he is not stupid.

If the matter is handed over to him, he will definitely find a way to complete it, so Cao Peng is not particularly worried.

After washing up, my spirit improved a lot. Cao Peng changed his clothes, took out Zhao Yebai from the stable, and walked outside the county yamen.

The carriage was ready, and inside was a congratulatory gift for Lu Bu.

Most of these congratulatory gifts were confiscated from Chen Sheng's mansion, and after Puyang Min and Buqi carefully selected, they selected this car of congratulatory gifts. Cao Peng only took a cursory look, it was nothing more than some gold and silver silk, but it didn't look very shabby.

"Second brother, third brother, let's go."

Originally, Cao Peng planned to go alone, but after Dian Man Xu Yi heard about it, he had to go together.

Both of them are the kind of people who are brave and ruthless, Dian Wei once fought with Lu Bu, and praised Dian Man when he returned home; As for Xu Yi, he has not seen the name of the tiger for a long time. This time there was a chance to go to Xiapi, and the two of them really wanted to see Lu Bu's demeanor.

Speaking of which, the thoughts of the two of them are somewhat similar to Cao Peng.

Dian Man took ten servants, Xu Yi took ten servants, plus slaves and coachmen, a total of more than 30 people, from the northwest gate of Haixi, and slowly left.

When he was out of the city, Cao Peng also met Wang Cheng.

He smiled slightly at Wang Dynasty on the horse and nodded, which was regarded as greeting Wang Cheng.

And Wang Cheng arched his hand towards Cao Peng, also with a smile on his face......β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” In October of the second year of Jian'an, Lu Bu helped Cao Ying to attack Yuan Shu and returned triumphantly.

At that time, Yang Feng Han Xian assisted LΓΌ Bu in defeating Yuan, and stayed in Xiapi. Due to the continuous war in Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yang Feng and other military food departments followed, so they gave birth to the heart of usurping Xuzhou. The two made an appointment with Liu Bei, intending to take advantage of LΓΌ Bu's return to the army to attack LΓΌ Bu and annex Xuzhou.

However, Liu Bei was disgusted with Yang Feng and his people, and invited Yang Feng to the army, taking the opportunity to kill Yang Feng and take his soldiers and horses for himself.
