Chapter 078: First Meeting

In the middle of February of the second year of Jian'an, the bandit abused Langling.

There is Taishou Manzhong who personally led his troops to pacify the bandits and pacify Runan. However, almost at the same time, Cao Peng, the superintendent of the western part of Runan County, passed through Langling and found that Langling had grown into a Yao and secretly colluded with bandits. Deng Ji, the governor of the western post, beheaded Cheng Yao, the elder of Langling, and found several letters between Cheng Yao and Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu from the county government. When Runan Taishou Manpet learned the news, he immediately ordered someone to rush to Xudu to report it.

At the same time, Deng Ji, the superintendent of the post in the west, pretended to be the governor of Langling, governed the place, and waited for Xu Du's reply!

Who is Deng Ji?

Hardly anyone knows about it.

This person seemed to have suddenly jumped out of a crack in the stone, and there was no way to trace it. Anyway, Runan is too full of favor and trusts this person very much.

At the same time, Cao Hong, who was far away in Ye County, Nanyang County, received a letter from Manzhong.

After reading the letter, Cao Hong couldn't help laughing out loud, and said to the left and right: "Boning has already known right and wrong, and if there are any Langling factions from now on, there will be no more people." ”

At the beginning of March of the second year of Jian'an, Xu Du sent an envoy to Pingyu.

In the letter, Cao Ying praised Manzhong's decisiveness in handling things, and appointed Xun Ji, the eldest son of the former Runan Taishou, Shangshu, and the military advisor Jiu Xunyou, as the head of Langling, responsible for receiving Langling. Subsequently, when Xun Ji arrived at Langling, he found that everything in Langling was running normally and in good order. After interrogation, it was learned that before Xun Ji arrived, Langling had always been governed by Deng Ji, the superintendent of posts in the western part of Runan.

So, Xun Ji immediately went to Pingyu and wanted to meet the western governor Cao Peng.

The answer I didn't want to get from Manzhong was: Cao Peng Deng Ji, the governor of the western post, returned to Xudu long before the arrival of the envoy from Xudu.

"This Deng Duyou, could it be a native of Xudu?"

Full of favors, laughing but not answering.

Xun Ji was a little disappointed, and at the same time a little confused.

So he ordered someone to investigate the Taishou Mansion in Runan, only to know that there was no one in the Taishou Mansion who knew this mysterious Deng Ji.

It is said that since he took office, he has not appointed Cao Peng, the governor of the western region.

So which one will this mysterious person named Deng Ji be?

With doubts, Xun Ji returned to Langling, and immediately wrote a letter, sent someone to Xudu, and asked his father Xun Yu to inquire about this person.

However, after the letter, Xun Ji faced a series of changes.

He didn't even have time to check the file, otherwise, Xun Ji might find that the file in Langling County was missing a full eleven days.

And these eleven days are also the eleven days that Cheng Yao set up a private checkpoint......

In June of the second year of Jian'an, Liu Biao ordered the general Deng Ji to leave Nanyang County and march to Langling. Xun Ji hurriedly responded to the battle and was killed by Deng Ji!

The missing eleven-day dossier was also lost in the vast river of history.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The news of Lang Lingchang's killing did not attract too many people's attention.

Because at this time, everyone's attention was focused on the martial arts captain Dian Wei, who came back from the dead and returned home thousands of miles away.

It has been a full month since the defeat of Wancheng.

In the past month, Cao Ying sent people to inquire about Dian Wei's news several times, trying to find Dian Wei's body, but there was no clue. Even including Wancheng Zhang Xiu, I don't know if Dian Wei is dead. Anyway, Cao Ying said that Dian Wei did not come back, and he was naturally happy to declare that Dian Wei was dead. For this reason, Cao Ying is extremely sad! He buried Dian Wei in his clothes, and went in person, weeping bitterly in front of the spirit.

In mid-February, Cao Ying worshipped Dian Man, the eldest son of Dian Wei, as Langzhong, and arranged for Dian Man to live in his own home. After the first seven days, he was ordered to return to Chen Liu's hometown. Not long after this Dian Man left, it is estimated that he has not yet come out of the rule of Yuzhou, and Dian Wei has come back!

So much so that when Cao Ying got the letter full of favor, he cried with joy......

"Ah Fu, there is Xu Du in front!"

Dian Wellerma, pointing straight ahead, spoke with excitement.

At this time, it is dawn. The white light of the fish belly just floated in the sky, hazy and heavy, and I saw the outline of a city, which appeared in the distance.

That's Xu Du!

After coming out of the black stream, the road was smooth.

Yingchuan's rule was relatively good, and it didn't take much time to go down this way.

After a night's journey, I finally arrived in Xudu. Cao Peng can understand the excitement in Dian Wei's heart, for Dian Wei, Xu Du is his home. It's just that for Cao Peng, looking at the outline of the city in the distance, he can't be happy. There was a trace of confusion in my heart, I couldn't speak clearly, I didn't understand the Tao, and it was like a dream. Xu Du is right in front of him, and what he is looking forward to is this day.

But when he really came to the city of Xudu, he was inexplicably apprehensive.

"Uncle Dian, let's go."

Cao Peng's voice was strange, but Dian Wei didn't hear it.

"yes, let's get over there!"

The carriage and horses rumbled, and they saw that the distance from Xudu was getting closer and closer.

In the morning light, an ancient and majestic city appeared in Cao Peng's eyes. The tall and majestic, undulating ancient city walls stand silently in the morning breeze. It was the outer city wall of Xudu. According to Dian Wei, Xudu is divided into two cities, the inner city is the imperial city, and the outer city is like a hill, surrounding the inner city...... Cao Peng had visited the ruins of Xudu in his previous life, but all he saw were ruins.

To be honest, if it weren't for Dian Wei on the side, Cao Peng really couldn't connect the ruins with the majestic city in front of him.

Travel through 1,800 years and walk in the era of the ancients!

It may sound romantic, but it always feels like something is not real.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Peng urged the horse and caught up with Dian Wei......

Woo-woo-woo-

The sound of a whimpering trombone tore apart the silence of dawn.

In the distance, the gate of Xudu was opened, and a team of men and horses rushed out of the city.

Those people came quickly, like a black torrent, and they arrived in front of Cao Peng in the blink of an eye.

At the head was a majestic and burly man, with a black black horse on his crotch, and he jumped off the horse with a length of eight feet and a waist of ten girths. The bronzed face and a striking mole on the forehead look rather strange. In ancient times, if some people looked weird and ugly, they generally did not use the word 'ugly' to describe them. Most of the time, they will use strange terms such as Xiongyi and Guoyi to explain that this person's appearance is different from the ordinary. This is both a custom and a ritual. For example, in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Dian Wei is described, and he only says that he looks good and resolute. It sounds beautiful, but when you see a real person, you know what 'Guo Yi' is.

This burly man is also very 'resolute'.

"Junming, is it really you?"

The big man reined in his horse, and the black torrent behind him immediately stopped.

He was on the horse, looking at Dian Wei intently, and his tone was particularly excited.

And Dian Wei jumped off the horse, walked a few steps quickly, and laughed: "Zhongkang, Xu Laohu...... Hahaha, I'm back again! ”

"I'll just say, little Zhang Xiu, how can you ruin your scourge surname."

The burly man also dismounted, walked a few steps quickly, and hugged Dian Wei Peng at once.

He was slightly lower than Dian Wei, and his figure was stronger and burlier than Dian Wei.

Cao Peng silently took a few steps back and gave up a position the moment Dian Wei spoke. At the same time, he whispered in his heart: This guy, isn't it the tiger idiot Xu Chu?

Xu Chu's words, Cao Peng can't remember it clearly.

It seems that there is a 'middle' or something. However, he knew that Xu Laohu was Dian Wei's unique name for Xu Chu, and seeing Xu Chu and Dian Wei hugging each other, Cao Peng couldn't help but shudder. Such two big men are so tightly hugged in broad daylight, if they are in the future generations, I don't know how many people will be disgusted...... At the same time, Cao Peng felt that Xu Chu's enthusiasm was a bit fake!

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xu Chu is a loyal and fierce general brother with super high military value.

Anyway, at that time, many people felt that if Dian Wei was still alive, he should be Xu Chu's appearance. So much so that some people later said that Xu Chu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is completely a character sketched by the naked god (that is, Luo Guanzhong) according to Dian Wei's surname.

This is not to say that Xu Chu is fictional, because in history, Xu Chu was finally the general of Wuwei, the marquis of Mu Xiang, and his nickname was Zhuanghou.

The so-called sketching statement actually means that Xu Chu's image in the romance does not match history.

Xu Chu, are you really that happy?

Anyway, Cao Peng wouldn't think so...... Xu Chu is a native of Qian County, and he is still a fellow villager with Cao Ying. Unlike Dian Wei, he was born in a powerful family. According to the history books, Xu Chu's clan has as many as 1,000 people, and it is definitely a big family that cannot be underestimated in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was attached to Cao Ying in the first year of Jian'an, and was praised by Cao Ying as 'My Fan Xu', Bai Du Wei, and Dian Wei Suwei Zhongjun.

It's just that due to the existence of Dian Wei, Xu Chu has been in a state of suppression.

Dian Wei is dead, but he is the first person in the Chinese army of Su Wei, and he is a well-deserved henchman. Now that Dian Wei is back, his position as the number one of the guards will not be kept...... Anyway, if this kind of thing was put on Cao Peng, even if there was no mustard, he would never be so enthusiastic. This is also the reason why Cao Peng feels that Xu Chu is a bit hypocritical...... As for what Xu Chu thinks? Cao Peng didn't know.

Similarly, Cao Peng can only think like this, and will not tell Dian Wei.

According to Dian Wei's surname, if he says these words, he may be scolded by Dian Wei, and even say that he is 'living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain', thus estranged himself from Cao Peng. This is not the result that Cao Peng wants to see, so he can only pay attention silently.

"Jun Ming, the lord is also here!"

"Huh?"

Xu Chu pulled Dian Wei's arm, "Yesterday, the lord received a letter from Man Cheng, and when he learned that you were returning today, he was so happy that he didn't close his eyes all night.

No, he ordered me to come to greet him early in the morning, and said that he would personally welcome you back outside the city of Xudu. ”

Mancheng is not Zhang Mancheng of the Yellow Turban Thief, but Li Dian Li Mancheng of Yingyin. Yesterday, Dian Wei and his entourage passed by Yingyin, and Li Dian also came to greet him. However, at that time, Dian Wei was anxious to return to Xudu, so he refused Li Dian's kindness, took people around the city, and hurried overnight. Presumably, Li Dian saw that he couldn't greet Dian Wei, so he sent someone to Xu Du to report the news. Speaking of which, Li Dian is also a celebrity of the Three Kingdoms.

According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Li Dian was the first Cao Ying to defect with Lejin.

However, the real history is that at this time, Li Dian was only a county order under Cao Ying. Of course, Yingyin's status is different from other places, which also shows that Cao Ying values Li Dian. However, the first to defect to Cao Ying was Li Dian's uncle, named Li Gan. Later, he died at the hands of Xue Lan, the general of Lu Bu's department, and the department was controlled by Li Qian's son Li Quan. Li Dian is just a member of the Li clan.

Li Qian? Li Quan?

Cao Peng is really confused!

He also did not know whether this was true in the original history. Anyway, in Cao Peng's memory, there is no impression of Li Qian and Li Quan.

Dian Wei was excited when he heard that Cao Ying was outside the city of Xudu.

He didn't care about beckoning Cao Peng and the others, took Xu Chu's arm, and walked towards the city of Xu.

Fortunately, Xu Chu's subordinates did not leave Cao Peng and the others aside, but stepped forward to lead a group of carriages and horses and galloped towards Xu Du.

Dawn, dawn.

A group of people lined up outside the gate of Xudu City, waiting quietly.

The first man in the brocade robe was not tall, perhaps less than 170 centimeters. He stood at the forefront, rubbing his hands together and looking excited.

The complexion is a little dark, and the body is slightly bloated, which makes the limbs look a little short.

The long hair under the chin sets off an extraordinary temperament...... When Dian Wei saw the brocade-robed man, he hurriedly let go of his hand, walked a few steps quickly, pushed the golden mountain and poured a jade pillar, and knelt in front of the brocade-robed man, "The last general Dian Wei, I have the great trust of the lord, please punish the lord!" ”

He is Cao Ying......
